Well here in my heart there's a story untold
Of a girl who left me standing standing in the cold
And since she's been away
I've never had a happy day
I hope and I pray that she'll hear my plea
And maybe someday she'll come back to me
For here in my heart there's a story untold
But after all you've said and done you said we'd be as one
But darling
I found I was wrong
But what did you do right from the start
You made of fool of me and then you broke my heart
Well I hope and I pray that she'll hear my plea
And maybe someday she'll come back to me
For here in my heart there's a story untold a story story untold
