Once You Love |
A long time ago there lived a man |
He had the world in the palm of his hand |
Sultans and kings beat a path to his door |
He had everything but he still wanted more |
One day in spring came a lady so fair |
He’d never looked on a beauty so rare |
But he didn’t trust her so he locked her away |
And his gold lost its luster when love died that day |
Once you love, once you trust it |
Once you give your soul is bare |
One false move and you know you’re busted |
Once you love you care |
I knew an old man who lived all alone |
In a sad Iittle house at the end of the road |
He sat on the front porch in an old rocking chair |
And everyone swore he’d gone crazy down there |
But no one comes near so how could they know |
He lost someone dear to him once long ago |
