Broken Beads and Faded Dreams

Broken beads and faded dreams
     That’s all I have, now that you left me
I’m staying here with just the memory
     Of my last night with you

We fell apart it seems
     That day you saw him on Bourbon street
And he was kissing on someone sweet
     Like he was over you

Maybe you just didn’t know that you still loved him
Maybe you thought somehow that I could be him
     And I fell for you

You let me love you all the while that you were grieving
Maybe you always knew that you’d be leaving
     Now I’m alone and blue 

Broken beads and faded dreams
     That’s all I have now that you left me
Now all I’ve got is just a memory
     Of my last night with you
