A Piece of Lace

[Verse-1] I watched you walk by yesterday, and yes again you turned and looked away You never give me the time of day, and you're always looking sad and grey A small piece of lace from your pink dress, is all that's left of you and me Wish I could take back yesterday, when I went astray and set you free I wish I could find the words to say, instead of making you look away Oh! It's funny how a little piece of lace, makes me yearn for your embrace [Verse-2] I know that I still need your love, because my heart is always feeling blue And I guess I'll never be the same, for playing around and being untrue You gotta know this isn't what I wanted, cause now I'm always on my knees But I can see how you like your freedom, of being with him and not with me But baby a twist of fate's what tore us apart, and placed this look upon my face Oh! it's still funny how a little piece of lace, makes me yearn for your embrace [Chorus] A piece of lace from your pink dress, keeps putting me down won't let me rest And these cloudy skies are back today, holding my heart and soul at bay I pray you come and take this lace, and wipe these tears from my face Oh! It's funny how a little piece of lace, makes me yearn for your embrace [Verse-3] All those things that you used to do, is what made me fall in love with you You gave me your all once upon a time, but like a fool I up and flew And the things I went and said that day, made you fade and drift away I never shoulda treated you that way, cause baby I need you here today The sun keeps hiding behind the clouds, and all I do is sit and cry And this piece of lace holds my heart at bay, I don't know...maybe it's a sign [Chorus] A piece of lace from your pink dress, keeps putting me down won't let me rest And these cloudy skies are back today, holding my heart and soul at bay I pray you come and take this lace, and wipe these tears from my face Oh! It's funny how a little piece of lace, makes me yearn for your embrace Oh! It's funny how a little piece of lace, makes me yearn for your embrace
