Story Behind The Song

They had a great love -- they walked along white picket fences in the evening, with the fireflies in the moonlinght dancing. But now he sits alone in a hollow room with a broken bottle of her old perfume. He's got a broken heart.

Song Description

HE TRUSTED HER BUT SHE FOUND SOMEONE THAT SHE PREFERRED AND NOW HE'S GOT A BROKEN HEART BECAUSE HIS BABY'S GONE

Lyrics

WELL IT'S A LONELY ROAD I'M TRAVELING ON
IN THE EVENING SUN, I'M ALL ALONE
I GOT A BROKEN HEART, A BROKEN HEART
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE

WELL I GOTTA SAY, I TRUSTED HER
BUT SHE FOUND SOMEONE SHE PREFERRED
AND NOW I WAIT TO SEE IF TIME WILL TELL
MY BABY, COME BACK TO ME
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE

WELL IT'S A LONELY ROAD I'M TRAVELING ON
IN THE EVENING SUN, I'M ALL ALONE
I GOT A BROKEN HEART, A BROKEN HEART
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE

WE WALKED ALONG WHITE PICKET FENCES ALONE
WITH NO PRETENSES WE ROAMED WITH THE
FIREFLIES IN MOONLIGHT DANCING ..... MANY TIMES
MANY TIMES BEFORE, BUT NOW MY BABY IS GONE
HER PASSION IS GONE, IT'S GONE

AND NOW I SIT ALONE IN A HOLLOW ROOM
WITH A BROKEN BOTTLE OF HER OLD PERFUME
A FRAGRANCE FILLS MY EMPTY ARMS
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE

WELL I GOTTA SAY, I TRUSTED HER
BUT SHE FOUND SOMEONE SHE PREFERS
AND I'M TRYING TO SEE IF TIME WILL TELL
MY BABY TO COME BACK TO ME
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE

WE WALKED ALONG WHITE PICKET FENCES ALONE
WITH NO PRETENSES WE ROAMED WITH THE
FIREFLIES IN MOONLIGHT DANCING ..... MANY TIMES
TWO HEARTS POUNDING IN A SILENT FASHION
IN A QUIET PASSION
AND NOW THE PASSION IS GONE, IT'S GONE

WELL IT'S A LONELY ROAD I'M TRAVELING ON
IN THE EVENING SUN, I'M ALL ALONE
I GOT A BROKEN HEART, A BROKEN HEART
MY BABY'S GONE, MY BABY'S GONE
