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
