He captivated me with his voice singing clear and strong,
While his fingers strummed a melody on the beat up guitar
One look into his bluest ocean eyes, so crystal calm
And I fell… And I fell…And I fell…
Although the time we loved exploded like a brilliant shooting star
Leaving jagged scars…Leaving jagged scars…
The only memories left are the remnants of a broken heart,
And the dulled remembrance of his dazzling smile.

Oh, how love comes with roses via the open front door, later the rose has died, thrown out the backdoor and doors hinges have gone rusty………….
