To him it may be over
But for her it'll be one day at a time
He may call it freedom
But to her he's still locked inside her mind
You can throw away love's golden pen
'Cause that's all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight

To him it's just and ending
But to her the pain's beginning to start
For him it's just a walk away
But for her it's a breaking heart
One goodbye and lots of tears
Are all she has left to show
For those seven years
That just walked out the door
A lot of dreams lost their lives when
A good love died tonight

They were headed for forever
When the hope that they were riding left the track
All the pleading and believing in the world
Won't bring the feeling back
You can throw away love's golden pen
'Cause that's all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight

What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight
