Lyrics

A Hundred Years Ago
Copyright 2019
There you were in the garden
Admiring a perfect bloom
The colors were all so vibrant
It's scent was sweet perfume.
Your lover rushed into the garden
I saw it from an upstairs room.
IT MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
One day you went shopping
To buy a satin gown
You tried on countless dresses
From every shop in town.
I passed you on the avenue
But your eyes were looking down
IT MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
La, La, La etc. (Chorus)
I followed you to church Sunday
You knelt down and prayed
The Preacher talked of redemption
His vestments worn and frayed
The man next to you held your hand
And my heart felt betrayed.
IT MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
So, that ends my story
There is no more to tell
Don't ever hide your feelings
When Cupid rings the bell
I never told her I loved her
I guess it's just as well
IT MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
