We used to go out to parties and shows Back when she really really love me so Then he came along like a stormy sea Not too long ago Now she don't love me anymore And we would walk 'neath the tall oak tree Talking 'bout how happy how happy we would be Then he came along like a devil in disguise Not too long ago Now I got tears in my eyes She always said I was her world And our love would never die She always said we'd ever be as one But she left me for letting my heart to cry Now I'm so lonely Lonely and blue 'Cause there's nobody I can turn to I just let her get away from me Not too long ago Now she don't want me anymore Not too long ago And now I'm in a misery Not too long ago I thought I had a true fine love But I was wrong, wrong, so wrong Cause I lost it And now I feel the sting of bitter tears in my eyes Salt water tears in my eyes Cause I lost it Not too long ago
