Dawn of New Day
DAWN OF NEW DAY
Sweet sixteen Scarlett so madly loved me,
my mistake I refused to marry her.
As my wife her life could write grand story
in dismal strife-torn years of civil war.
She could act, flirt with rogue Rhett for money
needed for her farm when I was away.
He’d go to jail for charge of felony,
my love would save her from being his prey.
After the war to Tara I’d take her,
reconstruct our shattered lives once again.
In happy new home our children we’d rear,
Forget the long tormenting years of pain.
The time of turmoil would go with the wind,
in dawn of tomorrow new day we’d find.
