The Flawed Nickel

I am going a-courtin' In my trendy suit and shiny boots Flicking my hair and doing my stylish walk I am going a-courtin' Picking roses along the way Getting my feelings into a spin I am going a-courtin' Oh love I can't wait To make her mine and mine alone I am going a-courtin' Be still my heart My lass is a-waitin'

I am a girl again Wishing on the stars With a heart full of hopes I am a girl again Walking on the cloud With a head full of dreams I am a girl again Falling in love Oh falling in love with you!

Do you see the light brightening my eyes Do you see the bliss mellowing my face Do you see the smile lighting up the room Do you see the love shining out at you When you see me across the floor ?

I watch you walk away My light grows dimmer I see you get closer to her My feelings melt slowly I spot you smiling at her My emotions blur and sink I perceive you touching her tenderly My heart withers and dies I feel you taking her into your heart That's when I completely fade away...
