Lyrics:

A long time ago there lived a man He had the world in the palm of his hand Sultans and kings beat a path to his door He had everything but he still wanted more One day in spring came a lady so fair He'd never looked on a beauty so rare But he didn't trust her so he locked her away And his gold lost its luster when love died that day Once you love, once you trust it Once you give your soul is bare One false move and you know you're busted Once you love you care I knew an old man who lived all alone In a sad Iittle house at the end of the road He sat on the front porch in an old rocking chair And everyone swore he'd gone crazy down there But no one comes near so how could they know He lost someone dear to him once long ago He remembers the laughter and he still tastes the tears And he still calls her name out after all of these years You can keep it all inside You can run but you can't hide When you think it's safe outside Look behind you, love will find you
