Trena walked to me, with tears in her eyes
Searching for the courage, tearing apart her insides
She stuttered and trembled, then dropped to her knees
As the tears rolled down her cheeks, she said to me
Don't marry her, why cannot you see
You will never be happy, It was meant to be me
It was meant you and I, forever in life
I've always loved you, can you not feel it inside
Don't marry her, you will be so alone
No heart could ever love you, not as my own
Can you not see, what is meant to be
If you marry her, our souls will never be free
I was taken quite off guard, as I stood there by my car
I said Trena please, I have feelings too and they run deep
But the difference of our age, I'm afraid is oh so great
And I've made promises to someone that I must keep
I got in my car, I left her standing with broken heart
Not knowing my own heart, would forever be scarred
And as I drove away, I left her standing crying that way
Heartbroken, crying, weeping, on this, my wedding day
Now it has been thirty years,
I've known the heartaches and I've known the tears
Surrounded by many, still inside so alone
My soul is not free, it's not of my own
Not a single day has gone by
That I have not missed her from my life
How could she have known
How could she have been so right
I still see her eyes
I remember this day she cried
But I would not listen
Now I pay the price of my so alone life.
