A man pondering on the high's and the low's of love |
I sit here and I ponder On love and what it means But I just get confused Love isn’t as it seems When I was young and foolish And love was just a dream In my mind I saw your eyes And gloried in their gleam I thought that love was beautiful It was so innocent and pure There was no problem in the world That love just could not cure I thought of who might be the one With whom I’d share my life And give to her my heart and soul When she became my wife And when at last I found you It seemed my dreams were true I went down on bended knee And gave my heart to you And so we loved together Our love just grew and grew There it seemed all my dreams In you had all come true Then came the day as I still see When death dropped in to call Then our love which was so high At last began to fall Though the doctors tried so hard As your life they tried to save I remember it so vividly Standing crying at your grave And the love which seemed so pure Our love which had no stain All at once was turned around When love was turned to pain For now my dreams are broken And Inside I feel confused All my dreams I had of love Have only left me bruised Now I’m not so innocent My eyes are now so clear All that’s left of my love Is a single lonely tear And now that I have pondered How life can be so cruel Love is an illusion And I am just a fool |
