Not Too Long Ago

We used to go out to parties and shows 

Back when she really really loved 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 flat, 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
