An Honest Man

Once upon a time I fell in love with a smile,

A pair of brown eyes,

And a promise that ran a mile,

I fell for his laugh,

For his love and his care,

I fell for his tenderness,

For his mane of black hair,

Never a trace of bitterness,

Ever graced his eyes,

And never did I see him,

Try to fool me with his lies,

The one time I meet an honest man,

And now it seems like a beautiful dream,

A flash in the pan,

And a wonderful scheme,

I weep in my pillow,

My emotions burst at the seems,

Because the only time I met an honest man,

Was when he left me in my dreams...
