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.
Repeat First Verse
Repeat Second 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.
Repeat Second Verse
