Lyrics
go on say goodbye
it's the end of a girl
though I know you'd like her to linger
all the boys
are crying today
she's a girl with a ring on her finger
everything that I've tried
nothing has come up right
but you are you are you are you are
the promise I will live to
every day
a girl no more
she's a woman in white
the grass is green
just to please her
I have worked all of these
seven years
for my chance
to dance with her
everything that I've tried
nothing has come up right
but you are you are you are you are
the promise I will live to
every day
I will take you from the cold, my love.
