Martina Mcbride - Good Bye lyrics

It reads like a fairytale

and that's what it was

Young man in his prime

young girl from the cross

The most perfect of strangers

and then the night closed in

and the holy ground took care of everything

Now she was a fine one

and he was a handsome man

One look was enough

and away they ran

They spend many happy hours

and then the night closed in

and the holy ground took care of everything

Oh what's the use in complaining

In for a penny in for a pound

I remember the loving time

and nothing else really counts

And I recall the promise they made

With a faith I can but admire

That she'd be the one he adored

and he'd be her hearts desire

It didn't come true in the end

they went their separate ways

He couldn't change what he was

she wasn't ready to wait

They couldn't live in the daylight

they let the night close in

and the holy ground took care of everything

I remember the loving time

and nothing else really counts
