Not Too Long Ago

We used to go out to partys and shows
Back when she really, really loved me so
Then he came along like a stormy sea
Not too long ago, now she dont love me anymore

And we would walk neath the tall oak tree
Talkin 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 wed ever be as a one
But she left me for lettin my heart to cry

Now Im so lonely, lonely and blue
Cause theres nobody that I can turn to
I just let her get away from me
Not too long ago and she dont want me anymore
Not too long ago and now Im in a misery
Not too long ago

Well, 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
