No Reason To Stay

No Reason to Stay I had so much love for you But you simply walked away I was like a bug beneath your shoes My love for you no reason to stay You had lots of money to burn And women falling at your feet You were the toast of high society Your life, your lovers, oh so sweet I finally went on with my life Got married and settled down I had three lovely children Products of the love I found I buried my husband a year ago All I wanted was to have him with me He loved me the way I had loved you His love for me a wonderful sight to see It was just last week I saw you It had been so many years I still thank God every day now Because your leaving caused only tears The money you had to burn Was no longer yours anymore And those women at your feet Are scattered to the wind times four Your eyes were all puffy and old You had lost that polished glow Of the rich and well groomed man And the smart high step now was slow. I turned away from you And simply walked away You weren’t like a bug beneath my shoes But there was no reason for me to stay
