jazz / blues
You took me
from the shelter of my mother,
I had never known
Or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night
on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness
of my lonely room
Filled with sadness,
filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back
through that door
And love me
like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
from the shelter of my mother,
I had never known
Or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night
on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness
of my lonely room
Filled with sadness,
filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back
through that door
And love me
like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
