[Verse 1]
To him it may be over but for her it'll be one day at a time
He may call it freedom but to her he's still locked inside her mind
You can throw away love's golden pen 'cause that's all she wrote
That fire of love they kindled has all gone up in smoke
What a shame what a sight a good love died tonight

[Verse 2]
To him it's just an ending but to her the pain's beginning to start
For him it's just a walk away but for her it's a breaking heart
One goodbye and lots of tears are all she has left to show
For those seven years that just walked out the door
A lot of dreams lost their lives when a good love died tonight

[Verse 3]
They were headed for forever when the hope that they were riding left the track
All the pleading and believing in the world won't bring the feeling back
You can throw away love's golden pen 'cause that's all she wrote
That fire of love they kindled has all gone up in smoke
What a shame what a sight a good love died tonight
What a shame what a sight a good love died tonight
