Forever Bonnie
Forgive me, Bonnie, I've gone on
But I hope you try again
Fifty-three years have gone on
This letter's late again
Twenty years you know we tried
Two thousand tears we must have cried
Four children later our minds were made up
Four children later it's time to break up
Forever Bonnie, heart's too hard to break
Forever Bonnie, 1958
Make your mistakes and life goes on
Get up early and try your hand
I kept talking on and on
You never tried to understand
Forever Bonnie, heart's too hard to break
Forever Bonnie, 1958
1958
Imagine how shocked I was
At what came in the mail today
What I wanted was a statement of your love
But fifty-three years is just a little late
They say the chances for lasting love
Aw, they're not so good these days
So Bonnie we weren't special after all
Although in bed we were pretty good I must say
Forever Bonnie, heart's too hard to break
Forever Bonnie, 1958
