She had the lights turned down very low
Romantic and soft music on the radio
Thoughts of jealousy and love in her brain
As she listened to the slow falling rain

Missing the loving and soft touch of his hand
Knowing inside it was not at a woman's demand
Her jealousy raged at a war that took him away
He had given her his love forever and a day

Always thinking of their love at first sight
Knowing deep in her heart that it would be alright
Awaiting the day when their lips finally would meet
But to her surprise only darkness they would greet

Jealousy had never been her game to play
She had hopes of being his wife one day
She would write him and put perfume on each letter
Until the final letter she received finally had her

In a mess of tears she knelt down to pray
Asking God to help her understand why he didn't stay
From that day on she never wanted love
Except for the love from God up above
