It's a Story Never Told

It's a story never told Yes, the mem'ry fades, of what happened next when the bottles empty It's a scary thing, when the mem'ry comes it's a story never told Life was easy then, not a care was found when the bottles empty She was beautiful, they were all alone it's a story never told It was paradise, how it felt that night but the bottles empty It was dark outside, as the snow came down it's a story never told Chorus He never saw the curve in the road he never saw all the lights glaring if only he could remember it's a story never told it's a story never told So much time has gone, since that tragic day the bottle still lies empty he hasn't touched a drop, but it can't help now there's a young girl, who won't grow old there's a young girl who won't grow old chorus repeat twice fade John Derek Hamilton September,20,2016
