Lyrics
Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
And she was falttered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
It was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon if she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy
The older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life...
