You'Ll Get Back, What You'Ve Given Me

You came to me, like a drifting breeze,  
and shared your love so tenderly.
     
Loving you with open arms, looking for
love, that I had longed.

You took away my lonesome heart, and
gave my life a brand new start.

The winds they changed, I don't know      (repeat)
why.                                                     
Thought it was love, was I surprised.       (repeat)

She said, "I'm sorry hon, I must move on.
Don't be sad, you'll find someone."    

My heart and soul you stole from me and 
now you walk away so free.

I can't look back, there is too much pain.
I'll try and love and trust again.

I walk alone, this lonesome road, and want
my heart back that you stole.

Life isn't fair you wait and see. You'll get  (repeat) Total 2 times
back, what you've given me.

A romantic heart easily can turn its feelings into a song for heartbeats become notes of a melody composed by love, my brother Michael! Superb and a seven+.
