Fence Around My Heart

 

Remember our first dance together,

When you held me close to you,

I felt warm and safe within your arms,

But you were too good to be true.

 

REFRAIN:

Oh you’ve left me sad and lonely,

I should have known it from the start.

There is an aching in my soul,

And there’s a fence around my heart.

 

You said you would love me forever,

You asked me to be your wife,

You promised you would be with me,

For all the rest of my life,

 

REFRAIN:

Oh you’ve left me sad and lonely,

I should have known it from the start.

There is an aching in my soul,

And there’s a fence around my heart.

 

I tried to make you a fine home,

I tried to make ev’rything just right,

And I thought that you were pleased with me,

Until you walked out on that night.

 

REFRAIN:

Oh you’ve left me sad and lonely,

I should have known it from the start.

There is an aching in my soul,

And there’s a fence around my heart.

 

I prayed that you would come back,

Even though you were a cheat,

For I love you more than I can say,

Without you I’m incomplete.

 

REFRAIN:

Oh you’ve left me sad and lonely,

I should have known it from the start.

There is an aching in my soul,

And there’s a fence around my heart.

 

So I guess I’ll be alone now,

And I’ll never love again,

But I hope that I will hear from you

Every now and then.

 

REFRAIN:

Oh you’ve left me sad and lonely,

I should have known it from the start.

There is an aching in my soul,

And there’s a fence around my heart.
