She Was so Young - David Gates

Off in the corner, the restaurant Dim

He looks at her and she smiling at him

Wish you could hear what he’s trying to say

Slipped in between while the waiter’s away

She is so young in the spring of her life

He in his autumn, and I know his wife

He took a chance when it came to can him, then

Found is too late to start over again

Life, can be, so hard, at times

Man’s only mortal and oftentimes frail

Hard to success but so easy to fail

Now he must tell her of all of his past

She will be leaving, it’s over at last

Left without either to love or forget

Hoping to undo when he’s down and yet

She is so young and so hard to resist

And he always felt there was something he missed

Here comes the waiter, the bill on his tray

Only a part of the price he must pay

Cause life, can be, so hard, at times

Man’s only mortal and so often frail

Hard to success but so easy to fail
