Where the Lights Were Low

(verse 1) Oh, she met him by the river In a place where the lights were low And the music made her shiver For there were things she could not know He asked her if she were taken She said someday but not just now So he smiled and talked of Macon And seemed to take a little bow (verse 2) Well, he left her arms at daybreak Then kissed her gently on the cheek He smiled just before the heartbreak As her tears began to leak He didn't say another word As he walked toward the rising sun She wondered what she might have heard Did he tell her she was the one (chorus) One day she read his name in print He had died in that war of woe She knew her last good day was spent By the river where lights were low (bridge) That day together not long ago Still lingers in her mind and soul Was it meant for her to meet him so Spend her days with this gaping hole (chorus) One day she read his name in print He had died in that war of woe She knew her last good day was spent By the river where lights were low 9-14-20 Contest: Completely Your Choice (9) Sponsor: Brian Strand
