I Live On Love

My pockets are empty The cupboards are bare No problem for me Never give it a care No need for food No use for money No dark clouds For me always sunny Our first moment Was a sudden glance From across the room I asked you to dance We danced on and on All through the night In my arms Till the morning light Been dreaming of you All my life MY destiny, My fate, My love Will you be my wife Sorry I have a man Waiting for me You and I Were not meant to be For the last ten years Of my life Can`t change the fact I`m his wife Her eyes said yes A voice said no It`s getting late I have to go Been waiting for her A thousand years Left my arms Covered with tears Our night together Changed my life No other woman Will ever be my wife I look for you Wherever I go The woman I love That told me no I`m a fool in love A victim of fate Our dance together Ten years too late All the lonely hearts Cry out to me Never love a woman That was not meant to be Have not danced Since that night Only with you Does everything feel right I`ve prayed to God A voice on deaf ears No answer to my pleas Been waiting for years Alone for a lifetime My choice to be Hoping one day It would be you with me The world has passed me bye I`m at the end of my life Never will I be able to say Thank you for being my wife I`m a fool in love A victim of fate Our dance together A lifetime too late 12/29/2012

Love this, Richard. It reminds me of "Sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along." Do you know this song from the 80's? It's one of my very favorites.
