"Lost Love"

by Stardust and Gunsmoke

I whispered into your ear one time
As the sunrise kissed your soft repose
“I love you doll, don’t forget” 
And even as the birds did sing 
Their lovely song on that blessed day
Forget you did in fact
And remove without a shred of doubt-
That I was naught but aught 
A vaguely intimated band aid
For a voided wound you fear to face
