Lyrics

I met a little girl, sure was fine; Pretty little thing just about blew my mind She took me home, and, ahh, made love to me I knew right then and there, this is where I wanted to be Most of my life I had been all, all alone And you're so sweet to me; don't think I'll ever roam And then one day as time will pass I had this feeling that our love would last Nothing could go wrong, and it seemed everything I did Seemed to please you; all the heartaches you hid Then one night after we made it, and we were through That's when I decided I wanted to marry you Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife; To love, hold, and cherish, for the rest of your life? I do, yes I do, I do darlin' Cause I love you Nineteen sixty-four Once you really loved me Once I really loved you Nineteen seventy-six Then time would change you As time would really change me We thought our love would stand the test of time And, as I sing this song, right now, I wonder today, today If you're a friend of mine Cry, cry, cry, I have done some crying Woman, you have caused my tears to flow Cry, cry, cried; you cry about me? Do you think about the kind of love we had? I told you I'd do the honorable thing Take care of you and the baby best I could But times was really hard and I had to try a new way, a new life Hal, le, hallelujah Hal, le, lu, I'm free Hal, le, hallelujah Hal, le, lu, I'm free But I wish you happiness and lots of sunshine And a new life and a new love Oh, this is my goodbye, baby God bless you, baby
