My Greatest Mistake
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.
My greatest mistake
Was falling in love,
Falling in love with you.
My greatest mistake
Was dreaming of you
And thinking my dreams
Would come true
It was easy to see
You never loved me,
Though I hoped and
I prayed
Someday, it could be.
My greatest mistake,
My greatest heartache
Was falling in love
With you
Darlin',
You know my greatest mistake
Was falling in love.
And I mean,
Falling in love
With a beautiful gal like you.
You know,
I made another mistake
Know what that was?
Just dreamin' of you
And being foolish enough to think
That all of my dream
Was bound to come true.
You know, it should have been easy for me to see
That honey
You never loved me.
'Course, I hoped and I prayed
That maybe someday
It could be.
My greatest mistake,
My greatest heartache
Was falling in love
With you
