LOVERS

We stood on the shore in the moonlight
As you tenderly whispered my name
Life as I had henceforth known it
T'would never be the same

For you uttered the words I had waited
My whole lonely life to hear
You said, "I'm in love with you Darling
And wish to ever hold you near"

We pledged our love to each other
And vowed our lives we would share
But you changed in ways unexpected
It was clear you no longer cared

Our Dreams then died in the moonlight
Where they had begun so long ago
And the sorrows I've felt since that night, Dear
Rain down on my head like cruel blows

I wonder now where did we go wrong
Could I have made you change your mind
They say true love lasts forever
I guess I'll never discover that kind

Now I stand on the shore in the moonlight
And I softly whisper your name
As the stars twinkle high above me
And the clouds fill up with rain
