Life was so sweet girl.

Life was a song.

But, now you've gone and left me.

Tell me, where did I go wrong?

C              
And it's all for the love,

     F           C
of a dear little girl.

All for the love,

             G7
that sets my heart in a whirl.

I'm a man who'd give his life,

        F            C
And the joys of this world.

All, for the love, of a girl.
