BitterSweet Blues

It's not a victory it's not a victory It is a lady's pretty name I met It's not a victory; better to say defeat As I am so aged and she is so young and that's it. Oh the bittersweet touch of moments we steal Age is just a number but it shapes how we feel. Her name like a melody plays on and on A victory in spirit though the moment's gone. It's not a victory it's not a victory It is a lady's pretty name I met It's not a victory; better to say defeat As I am so aged and she is so young [Bm] and that's it. Can the heart obey when time tells its tales? Is the beauty of the night doomed to pale? In the laughter of night where the shadows play Her youth shines like stars I fade into grey. It's not a defeat not just a simple miss It's a dance of time sealed with a fleeting kiss. It's not a victory it's not a victory It is a lady's pretty name I met It's not a victory; better to say defeat As I am so aged and she is so young and that's it.
