Expense of Love

I asked an old man On his dying bed What would he do-over And this is what he said What in the world What in the world was I thinking of I got my money, so much money At the expense of love I worked late on the job Gave my family things so fine All they really wanted Was a little more of my time What in the world What in the world was I thinking of I got my money, so much money At the expense of love A tender breeze Upon your face Memories Of love's embrace VERSE III A wealthy woman all alone In her stately home Nobody comes around I heard her weep and moan What in the world What in the world was I thinking of I got my money, so much money At the expense of love My true love brought fresh flowers A rich man offered gold I broke my baby's heart My love was bought and sold What in the world What in the world was I thinking of I got my money, so much money At the expense of love
