Love dreams that faded and died.
Too many teardrops have fallen,
Soft wedding bells should be ringing for us
But this morning they told
and her bright band of gold
Was returned with this message tonight
Heartbroken God took her away
She wore as they laid her away
Though she died for all of all in vain
Her last words were calling your name
As I walked to her grave,
I cried, but my tears were too late
as I kneel here alone beside you
I think of the heart that I have wounded
and the life that I could have saved
you were to be my loving bride
But all that I have left now is,
and the sad message that they sent me?
And this rose that I am taking
Though she died for all of all in vain
Her last words were calling my name
As I walked to her grave,
with a blue bonnet's wave,
I cried, but my tears were too late.
