Del Mccoury - Queen Anne's Lace Lyrics

With every golden curl in place, she's as fine as Queen Anne's lace

And know one could ever fault the way she looks tonight

The man standing by her side shows her off with such eager pride

Seems since I saw her last she's done all right



She could never place me in her mind for me the years have not been kind

She'd never see the boy she knew in the man I've grown to be

From her station and her place she'd never recognize my face

I have fallen like a wind blown leaf from her memory



CHORUS:

For she's traded all her pain for bright lights and chilled champagne

And I'm sure her new found friends all think they know just where she's been

Yes they think they know her well, all the stories I could tell

She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace but I knew her when



Now it's hard to believe I know but she once loved me long ago

And I suppose I should be hurtin' just to see her once again

Oh but now that she's grown so proud I wouldn't want her anyhow

She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace but I knew her when
