Her Love Was Lost
Her Love Was Lost
It was her love which I had lost
Wonderful and way above all cost
God made and could never measure
So splendid and forever will treasure.
Endless love was like a turtledove
Who I could never get enough of
While I was romantically inclined
Later had to leave her behind.
Did draft me and to war had to go;
Its purpose no one would ever know
Or be able to understand reason why
Some day soon many of us had to die.
Bombs blew up while weapons were fired
Last thing I thought about and desired
Was her kiss but now forever will part
Bright shiny bullet had pierced my heart.
