What it means to be left With a kiss and a rose For she vowed to be true As she pledged me her love And I know she was true As the stars up above
Though they made her another's bride At the wedding, I heard she cried Such is life I suppose Just a kiss and a rose
None, but the lonely heart Can ever disclose Just what it means to be left alone With a kiss and a rose For she vowed to be true As she pledged me her love And I know she was as true As the stars way, way up above
Though they made her another's bride At the wedding, I heard she cried Such is life I suppose Just a kiss and a rose
