"Why Didn't You Take That Too" lyrics

You took the gold from my golden sunset
And from my heaven you took the blue
And for my part you left a broken heart
Oh, why didn't you take that too?

You took the flowers that bloom in June time
Those happy hours that once I knew
And for me dear you've only left a tear
Oh, why didn't you take that too?

If you had taken the clouds away dear
I'd not be feeling the way I do
But you left me a burning memory
Oh, why didn't you take that too?

You took the red from the blushing roses
And from their petals you took the dew
And from that dear you fashioned me a tear
Oh, why didn't you take that too?
