Somewhere Along The Line

Dinah Washington · Other Songs - Dinah Washington

Somewhere along the line



You met this heart of mine



Would it unwind it?



Now you would shun it over a glass of wine



Friends knew it all the time



That no weeding bells would chime



I was just a young dreamer, no match for a schemer



Your's was a lover's crime



Folks gossiped, they said it was too good to be true



They even bet you'd search for someone new



This pendent world of ours was paradise



And I was blind by the star dust in my eyes



While you like gambler with his last dime



I know you will try it one more time



But I prayed like Napoleon Bonaparte



You'll meet your Waterloo somewhere along the line



Somewhere along the line
