I'll Be True To You (1978)
They met upon a blue moon
And they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love and out of school
But he was going so far, far away

She said I'll be true to you
Even though you don't want me to
And I'll be blue for you
Even though you've asked me not to

Well the year's drifted by them as we all know they can
He found other women but she refused other men
But as fate would have it they met again
She was on a downhill slide and he was just sliding in

As he looked into her eyes that night He didn't realize
The only real love in his life was passing by

When he turned and left her there his words "goodbye"
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked she cried

I've been true to you
Seems like speaking to me is the least that you could do
And I've been blue for you
Even though you've asked me not to

She'd been drinking way too hard one night she'd been drinking way too long
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel she died there in the dawn
Kneeling by her grave oh so late and oh so wrong
He longed to hold her close again crying on and on

He cried I'll be true to you
After all that I have put you through
And I'll be blue for you
Though you never even asked me to
