A Perfect Day Elise CD2

A dead man came calling my name and in me
Said "Betty you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"
But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

See Betty she's fine
And Betty she's tall
And Betty makes love like no woman at all
But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep

But oh my eyes begin
Making fools outta me
They say love is blind as I can no longer see

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Now I've no more to give
I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay

But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
