Lyrics

I Looked Away

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me

That she'd leave me in misery.

It seemed like only yesterday

She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

First Verse

And if it seemed a sin

To love another man's woman, baby,

I guess I'll keep on sinning

Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.
