Generate meaning
1
By the light of the moon
2
To a 50's tune
3
He pledged his love to her
4
A girl so rare
5
A girl so fair
6
The girl for him for sure
7
He could see himself getting up every mornin'
8
For the rest of his life
9
Just to look in those eyes so blue
10
It was all he ever wanted to do
11
She was all he'd ever need to see him through
12
They were still in their teens
13
When he gave her the ring
14
They were married late one May
15
And they moved into a little house
16
On the far end of town
17
Out by the big highway
18
And all through the days
19
And all through the nights
20
The cars and trucks rolled on by
21
And he slept through it all just fine
22
Every night he slept just fine
23
Sometimes she'd stare at the stars out the window
24
Sometimes she'd walk 'neath the moon
25
Sometimes she'd sit there just watching him sleeping
26
Hoping the dawn would come soon
27
She'd done well in school
28
She'd followed the rules
29
And she'd always stood out from the rest
30
She'd go off to college
31
And work her way through
32
Then move to some city out west
33
She had it all planned
34
She'd have her career
35
She'd have all of the things that she'd always lacked
36
She'd wake up one morning all packed
37
And leave here and never look back
38
Most of her friends thought it soon would be over
39
Not many thought it would last
40
Most seemed to think they were all wrong for each other
41
And soon it would pass - soon it would pass
42
Now twenty years have gone
43
And her kids have moved on
44
And she's still on the far end of town
45
Her youngest - she's livin' somewhere in L. A.
46
And her oldest - he works on a nearby farm
47
Her husband comes home
48
And they talk over supper
49
He's usually the first to turn in
50
Another day comes to an end
51
Another day just ends
52
And sometimes in the wee hours when the traffic dies down
53
She'll hear the sound of some bird on the wing
54
And she'll look out the window and she'll look at his picture
55
But not at the ring - not at the ring
56
She never looks at the ring
