Once she smiled so sweet, a lifetime ago in love for keeps, she was so sweet
But as the door would close, the spark once love, would turn to blows, why no one knows
Once she smiled so sweet, a lifetime ago, a life complete, she was so sweet
She smells the perfume again so cheap, alone she cries herself to sleep, for the cut is deep
Once she smiled so sweet, a lifetime ago, her dress so neat, she was so sweet
Now only bruises show, and the why, never known, until the fatal blow
Once she smiled so sweet, a lifetime ago in love for keeps, she was so sweet
She was so sweet
