A very old friend |
|
Came by today |
|
'Cause he was telling everyone in town |
|
About the love he just found |
|
And Marie's the name of his latest flame |
|
He talked and talked |
|
And I heard him say |
|
That she had the longest, blackest hair |
|
The prettiest green eyes anywhere |
|
And Marie's the name of his latest flame |
|
Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning |
|
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye |
|
He was gone, but still his words kept returning |
|
What else was there for me to do but cry |
|
Would you believe that yesterday |
|
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me |
|
She'd be mine eternally |
