Lyrics
- You’ve said goodbye and ev’rything is over now it seems
And all you left behind for me were dreams, just shattered dreams
For you were all I had, the only happiness I knew
You went away without a word, you proved your love untrue
Chorus
You never meant the kisses that you gave me
I’ve paid with tears for ev’ry bit of joy
You made a plaything of my heart, the heart I gave to you
You broke it like a child would break a toy
The love you gave was like a fading flower
The kind of love that lives for just a day
But forgive you, dear, I will
God knows, I love you still
Tho’ you broke my heart, to pass the time away
- I see you as I saw you on the day we two first met
You seemed an angel from above, your smile I can’t forget
The smiles that made me think, perhaps, some day for me you’d care
The smile that promised untold joy, but left me in despair
