Being left on his knee and with a ring in his hand, a man responds to a woman's attempt at rekindling.
lyrics
They were sunny days, the sky was blue.
I was happy then, and it never rained. Never rained...
I could build a thousand houses clear,
easily with my hands if it was for you. Just for you...
Then I thought you were wonderful. Then I thought you were everything,
and I had no other need in life: Only just to have you wear my ring.
Then you left me on the city steps with a box of chocolates in my hand.
I was never good enough for you. I could never be your leading man.
How could I disclose my heart to you
after the things that happened on that day? Wednesday...
Now I'm wondering if I mean a thing,
or if I'm a pon in your silly life. Just stab me with a knife...
Then I thought you were wonderful. Then I thougth you were everything,
and I had no other need in life: Only just to have you wear my ring.
Then you left me on the city steps with my heart in pieces in my hand.
I was never good enough for you. I could never be your leading man.
