My Evangeline

Verse 1:

My Evangeline, so sweet and true,
why'd you let him do this to you?
He's stolen the light from your big, brown eyes
and given it to the gods of disguise.
What a gorgeous tale so sad and real.
My heart grieves to hear your appeal.

Chorus:

Evangeline, oh, Evangeline
You used to be so fine.
Evangeline, oh, Evangeline
The story you tell is mine.

Verse 2:

Gentle dear, your words do pierce
an aching heart that once was fierce.
Your spark so quickly disappears
and gives way to lost hopes, birth to new fears.
Your tryst with love so divine
has dimmed your eyes that used to shine.

Repeat Chorus
