I tried to save a girl I truly loved
( )
And didn't quite know how to help her
So now she's sleeping as her parents up above
( )
Cry over things that they can't tell her
And when I did my good deed
I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness
But standing in the street alone
I just felt sinking sadness
Girl, your dad will not us bless
So hang up your veil and dress
Look at me and take one guess
Where this best-intentioned love will lead us
And repeat this for the rest of the song.
Cheers!
