He Dropped the World in My Hands

(Jack Toombs)



I loved you before you met him

And I loved you even after you were wed

I told you I'd never forget you

That I'd be here when his love was dead.



Now you're back in my arms and I'm happy

And I guess he knows just where he stands

'Cause when he lied and cheated on you

That's when he dropped the world in my hands.



--- Instrumental ---



Didn't he realize what he was losing

To give you up he must have been insane

And to him it just didn't seem to matter

That his love was another man's game.



It's his right if he wants to be a fool

But I wonder if he really understands

That when he gave your love back to me

That's when he dropped the world in my hands...
