 lonely eyes
 Are misty from the death of
 glowing dreams, His love is all that she could ever
 prize
 And now it's gone to someone

 For he had vowed that it was set
 to last
 And then a new flame stirred a

 As she replaces bit by fearful

 The poignant hours before they
 grew apart.
 And thus she sitS-so crushed-so
 wan-so meek Shes apt to stay in mourning for
 week!
