The Prom

On my way to the senior prom,
Saw a crowd all gathered 'round,
Stopped the car, got out to see,
Just what it could be,

There lying near the crowd,
Was a girl dressed in a gown,
Walked up so I could see,
Just who, it could be,

Knelt down by her side,
Tears came into my eyes,
There lie the one love,
One I'd always love,

Then she said "Take this ring of mine,
You are my love divine"
And as our lips met,
I know I can't forget,

The way my heart cried,
The way it hurt inside,
She's gone so far away,
My lonely heart, must pay,
She's gone, gone, she's gone,

There lies the, the one I love,
The one, I'll, I'll always love,
If I'd have picked her up on time,
The Precious love would still be mine,

The love, the love she gave to me,
Will always stay with me,
Till the day we meet,
Till the day we meet in eternity,
Then my heart begins to cry,
It hurts so deep inside,
She's gone so far away,
My lonely heart, must pay,
She's gone, gone, she's gone...
