Headin’ back to Ol’ St. Croix

My heart is broken

Left me way last early spring

And now I’m all alone

Last August we were best of friends

Livin’ on an island

We fell in love by Summer’s end

Her arms became my home

And oh, how I loved her

this woman who once held me

And oh, what I’d give now

To be in those arms again

A voice so gentle and face so fine

Eyes like the sunset

Her touch so soft and her kiss like wine

More than I could dream

She was my friend, my world, my life

How I wish that I could hold her

But fate had other plans in mind

And God took her back one day

And oh, how I loved

with everything within me

And oh, what I’d give now

to sing my songs again.

The story is too painful now

To ever try to tell it

I feared the truth would be

Oh, Lord, she left me slain

And so I write this very last song

I’ve nothing left to cry with

I wish you both the best of love

Of joy and of pain

And God knows I loved her

But Goodbye’s a Goodbye

And I’ll always love her

But this story has to end

And God knows I loved her

But Goodbye’s a Goodbye

And I’ll always love her

But this story has to end

And God knows I loved you

But Goodbye’s a Goodbye

And I’ll always love you

Though this story has to end
