The pleasing scent of sweet perfume

A lover's last caress

The feeling of an empty house

It hurts me, I confess

I always wanted love so strong

That fire could never shake

But words made out of dynamite

This heart did surely break

A love I found near mountaintops

Did make me want her so

We moved down south to make a home

Was the only way to go

But overseas one day she went

Her heart left on the plane

She broke my heart and left it there

With all the men she'd lain

She returned after all that time

Beautiful and sweet

Then once at home alone at last

She knocked me off my feet

His name was James she loved him so

But he wouldn't leave his wife

I forgave her easily

No fighting nor no strife

But my forgiveness freely gave

She didn't want at all

She said she'd rather leave that day

See the writing on the wall?

Another love I found one day

One I had known before

She'd never break my heart that way

So she surely swore

But cheat she did too many times

Though she tried to act so mild

Even one the day she said

She was having someones child

She left me there alone again

My heart was torn to shreds

And to this day I've never spent

To long in other beds

Perhaps my heart just cannot feel

The warmth of the sun no more

Or maybe I never truly felt

True love now or before

Maybe someday my queen will come

I'll keep watch with a weary eye

Because I think true love this round

Has truly passed me by

This round of life I've come to think

Might have a diff'rent goal 

Perhaps my task for this go round

Requires not another soul

Perhaps I meant to raise a child

Or simply be a friend

These things a single man can do

Without another to hold his hand

So, on with life, I free it up

Thought it might be too late

I give over my world and life

To the tender threads of Fate
