He said all the words he hid away
To a girl who knew his ways
And she didn't hesitate
To tell him that he was a fool
He was saying nothing new
And the morning came too soon
He'd cry the night away
Until the morning rays caught his eye
While she was far away
She never thought again
Of the man she left behind
So many times he'd tried to tell her
But she never got the point
He was convinced she wanted him
But that wasn't right
The letter telling him the truth
Was so simple that he knew
What her words could always do
He read it over once or twice
Thought it really was quite nice
Felt it cut him like a knife
Then he cried the night away
And never thought again
Of the girl he thought he knew
But when the night had gone away
He found along the way
That morning comes too soon
REPEAT
And who can say which one was right
Things look different late at night
As they watched the pale moonlight
It seems their love was just a game
And it wasn't quite the same
When the morning finally came
