Somewhere Along The Line - Dinah Washington

Somewhere along the line

You met this heart of mine

Would it unwind it?

Now you would shun it over a glass of wine

Friends knew it all the time

That no weeding bells would chime

I was just a young dreamer, no match for a schemer

Your’s was a lover’s crime

Folks gossiped, they said it was too good to be true

They even bet you’d search for someone new

This pendent world of ours was paradise

And I was blind by the star dust in my eyes

While you like gambler with his last dime

I know you will try it one more time

But I prayed like Napoleon Bonaparte

You’ll meet your Waterloo somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line
