somewhere along the line

somewhere along the line

you met this heart of mine

would it unwind it?

now you would shun it over a glass of wine

friends knew it all the time

that no weeding bells would chime

i was just a young dreamer

no match for a schemer

your's was a lover's crime

folks gossiped

they said it was too good to be true

they even bet you'd search for someone new

this pendent world of ours was paradise

and i was blind by the star dust in my eyes

while you like gambler with his last dime

i know you will try it one more time

but i prayed like napoleon bonaparte

you'll meet your waterloo somewhere along the line

somewhere along the line
