A handsome man, a beautiful girl
A mountain of money, not a care in the world
Clean out of a clear blue sky
She looked deep into his eyes
And said sweetly “it’s goodbye”
Just as he was going to tell her
He would be hers forever
He had to let go of the stereotype
He’d carried all of his life
Here’s to the day she said goodbye
Here’s to end of asking why
He said “One thing I have learned,
As sure as this world turns,
When you ain’t got love, you’ve got nothin' at all”
So he set out all alone
In the early morning
When the shadows were long
The sun climbed through the sky
Sought him out, fought his pride
Brought his faith back to life
He walked out all his self-doubt
Realised he was better off without her
Now he’s free to see the beauty that eluded him
To this point in time
He said fortune showers favour on the bold
Faint heart it’s true will never do
Nor fair maiden heart
