She Walked In Beauty Lyrics

Uh, oh, I didn't mean to wreck your home

We were only drunk and alone

I wanted you to carry on, on

Oh, she walked in beauty

Oh, she hardly knew me

When I left she held her head high

And tried to dry her wet eyes

But oh, she walked in beauty

When I left, I left a suitcase by a door

These are the times, that I'll always adore

And she bent just like an acrobat

Be famous with a face like that

I wish that I could say this time it's me

But uh, oh, I didn't mean to wreck your home

We were only drunk and alone

I wanted you to carry on, on

Oh, she walked in beauty

Oh, she hardly knew me

When I left she held her head high

And tried to dry her wet eyes

But oh, she walked in beauty

When I came back

There was the suitcase I had packed and nothing more

Than dust on the wooden floor and sunshine

Coming through the window blinds

It's often that you cross my mind

I wish that I could do the same for you

But uh, oh, I didn't mean to wreck your home

We were only drunk and alone

I wanted you to carry on, on

Oh, she walked in beauty

Oh, she hardly knew me

When I left she held her head high

And tried to dry her wet eyes

But oh, she walked in beauty
