lyrics

Violet's Blue

Lifetimes ago, yesterday too
Again tomorrow that old "I love you
I'm yours forever, I'll always be true
Violet, you'll never be blue"

She gives her heart so sweetly
Smiles when she hears him say
"My love is yours completely"
His words carry her away

Now that he's won her, made her his own
He takes another, she cries alone
His words were empty, never were true
He just left sweet Violet blue

Trusting too much is tragic
One day she'll turn things 'round
Then once again the magic
Once more she's heaven-bound

Love's still elusive, just out of reach
Tears come with baggage, lessons to teach
Maybe tomorrow, who knows? do you?
But for today, Violet's blue.
