journers just 

           
here for a whi

  
le

So sweet, so fine, her hair so black
She smiled as I passed her I stopped and I turned back
I wish I’d kept moving cause who can I blame
She would never break her promise I would not take back my name

Chorus

So sweet, so fine, a tear in her eye
I’ll always remember her words of goodbye
You have danced in my heart and I’ll not be the same
Though I’ll never have her promise and she’ll never have my name

Chorus
