She loved him most when his eyes were gray
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire

And a bittersweet desire

She shined for him like candlelight

That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away


All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied

And while her heart was broke and bleed?
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings


She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slipped upon her tongue

The taste of unrequited love

Now her hair is long and gray

The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul


All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied

And while her heart was broke and bleed?
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings


She loved him most when his eyes were gray
