Woe Is Me
Woe is me, can't you see
That was meant to be,
And, ain't that a shame
When no one was to blame
Happy for a little while
Then, there goes my smile,
Gone back to being shy
... Could I tell you why
Born that way, maybe
A melancholy baby,
So lonesome I could cry
Before I could tell you why
Forty years later...
My world is no greater,
The sky is still blue
Why wouldn't I be, too
And, when I am eighty
A melancholy lady,
That was meant to be...
Why can't you see, woe is me.
