"She Was So Young" lyrics

Off in the corner, the restaurant dim
He looks at her and she smiling at him
Wish you could hear what he's trying to say
Slipped in between while the waiter's away

She is so young in the spring of her life
He in his autumn, and I know his wife
He took a chance when it came to him, then
He found it's too late to start over again

Life can be so hard at times
Man's only mortal and oftentimes frail
Hard to success but so easy to fail

Now he must tell her of all of his past
She will be leaving, it's over at last
Left without either to love or forget
Hoping to undo what he's done and yet

She was so young and so hard to resist
He always felt there was something he missed
Here comes the waiter, the bill on his tray
Only a part of the price he must pay

'Cause life can be so hard at times
Man's only mortal and so often frail
Hard to success but so easy to fail
