His Dream

I watched you as you walked to a waiting car
Pleading to the heavens don't let him go far

You turned back to look at me standing there
Shot back a look that said I just don't care

As if a hand had reached to squeeze my heart 
Knees begin to buckle and the tears start

He's leaving for good this time I know
The cute young blond in the car tells me so

Said a new life with her he wants to try
Love erased in the blink of a roving eye

Marriage and family suddenly tossed aside
His trophy now clings to his arm & walks at his side

Age difference no problem it seems
This is now the woman of his dreams
