Heartaches and Lace

Heartaches and Lace
Enter the lady, all dressed in black,
She made her choices, now it's all coming back,
But no-one will know what price she has paid.
She's mourning the innocence lost when she strayed.

Her eyes used to sparkle, her face lit with smiles.
But too many places and too many miles
Has stolen her laughter, hidden it away.
She lives with her choices, goes her own way,

Enter the lady, all dressed in black,
Her memories are churning, they keep going back
Reliving the past and her fall from grace.
A somber expression is etched on her face.

She once wore satin all covered with lace
Her make-up was a smile, the glow of her face
The sound of her laughter was music to hear.
And he was the boy that she once held dear.

Enter the lady, her thoughts going back,
To the love she once left so far in the past,
To lovely spring mornings, now gone from sight,
Wishing for words that would make things alright!

Enter the lady, all dressed in black,
Enter the lady, she can never go back.
There in the doorway, always alone.
Enter the heartache I thought was gone!
