REGRETS OF A LONELY MAN
He stood knocking on the door
At the house he worked to pay for
Remembering the plans they had made
Sitting before a fire and drinking champaign
For years now he stood there every other Saturday
Just to have a few hours to watch his children play
Now the kids were nearly grown
Sissy and Sonny had plans of their own
He tried not to look too disappointed
Although his feelings were sadly wounded
Sissy was off with friends, just to hang around
Sonny had tickets for the concert down town
His childhood sweetheart has long been his ex
It was his need for change that caused it, perhaps
Their familiarity, once good, led him to wander
Bored and confused their money she squandered
His wandering never panned out back then
Failed relationships kept them lonely in the end
She made her apologies for the kids being away
Shut the door as she said "Have a nice day"
His future looked bleak and he was afraid
What a wreak his life was for the games that they played
He said to himself "it's my own bed I made,
I had a choice and I should have stayed."
