I waved to her a long goodbye
In hope that love was true
But when she turned I saw the lie
That puzzles me and you
What happened to eternity
And love of deeper hue
What happened to paternity
A love to start anew
But fear is strong in those who loved
And fear it will imbue
The fear that they will be beloved
By charms of someone new
But now I've learned to carry on
When all is much ado
For love and trust are not foregone
If each day you start true
And love is ripe within us all
So try not to subdue
The love that burns within your heart
And never say adieu
