So Much Trouble - Eleanor McEvoy

She saw him standing in the jeweller’s across street

Through the window saw him choose

A silver locket with the ruby on the front

She’d seen it herself last week, just last week

She smiled and hid herself as he turned towards the door

And fondly watched him walk away

She felt so lucky to be blessed with someone good

Who’d buy nice things for her, just for her

So much trouble, so much trouble

So much trouble for the woman he loved

Her heart beat double when she saw the trouble

He’d gone to for the woman he loved

When he came home that night he hid the box away

Then came and kissed her on the cheek

He said he’d have to work 'til late on Thursday night

He asked her about her day, all about her day

When Friday morning came she opened up his drawer

The velvet box had disappeared

The silver locket with that ruby on the front

It hadn’t been for her, not for her
