Whenever I’m feeling blue and cold

  as I long for a new person to hold.

  I am often fearful and never so bold

  often afraid of rejection and scold.

  And when someone comes into my life

  a lady that brings joy instead of strife.

  Instead of ending the search for a wife

  a betrayal hits our back like a knife.

  Each heartache brings great sorrow

  and fears of what my come tomorrow.

  The lessons offer us a chance to grow

  but still hurts more than they’ll ever know.

  I’ll take my sorrows with me to the grave

  for I’m frightened and shall never be brave.
