UNTIL THAT MAN CAME ALONG

Once I was happy, my life was a dream

But now everything has gone wrong

One happy couple, a wonderful team

Until that man came along

Once I had romance, a love that was true

The yearning between us was strong

Two people sticking together like glue

Until that man came along

That man came along, and he’s stolen my wife

And made me unhappy, for the rest of my life

Like a thief in the night, he took her away

Now my future looks gloomy, only grief and dismay

We would go dancing, then go for a drink

Then down to the club for a song

Walking home slowly, our arms we would link

Until that man came along

She would start singing, while cooking a meal

And I would join in with her song

Such happy moments, so lovely to feel

Until that man came along

That man came along, and he’s stolen my wife

And made me unhappy, for the rest of my life

Like a thief in the night, he took her away

Now my future looks gloomy, only grief and dismay

Once there was a moon, that shined up in the sky

And stars in the heavenly plane

Once there was a sky, so beautifully blue

Now there’s only dark clouds and rain
