The old man sat on a park bench alone
The birds he was feeding were his only company
He had long ago become used to being on his own
A rich, yet lonely, old man he turned out to be
Remembering times from long ago
His thoughts went to his true love at that moment
And how much he missed her so
All those memories flashback that he started a confession
He never gave much thought to treating people with kindness
Treating other people kindly he viewed as a weakness
That would stop him from making his next dime
He was handsome and had his way with the women
Never treating them much better than dirt
His relationships never lasted long but then
He did not care if their feelings got hurt
Then one day he met a woman and knew that she was special
There was something that he couldn't quite put his finger on
She was very charming and the young fellow knew that he felt
A connection, they could both feel it with each one
This woman he began to have feelings for
He wanted to see her and even wrote her love letters
And then they became engaged one day
But his old habits were there and did not bring her flowers
So she called off the wedding and sadly went on her way
He was very sad and
Not at all happy that things ended up that way
That young lady was his one true love and
He couldn't, but how he wanted to forget that day.
So he turned his attention back to making money
Still mourning the loss of his one true love
He never again had another relationship like that lovely
Woman he would always keep thinking of.
Now all the money in the world could never
Bring him the happiness that he wanted
He always wanted to be loved forever
And to love a woman with no end
If he could turn the clock back, he wish he'd never made that silly mistake in his life.
