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
