Rated "PG13" by the Author.



Too BLUE for you? Heartaches unleashed? Sad tale of Woe?
Les Miserables'? Too campy?
Hello? Is there a music publisher in the house?
Should I send this to little Willy Nelson - OR - just BURN it?

Honey, Our Vows Meant Nothing To You ...
(But, I Didn't Know!)

Copyright: November 27, 2001 - Thomas K. Hyland, Jr.



We Knelt in God's Holy House, Once Long Ago.
Your Eyes were like Beacons, Face all Aglow.
You were Beautiful, and I was your Beau.
It was Then that you said, "I Love you So!"

Honey, our Vows meant Nothing to You, but I Didn't Know!


I gave you my Heart, my Mind, and my Soul,
Friend, Lover, now Husband, was my Role.
My Heart Pounded with Pride, Leapt with Glee,
The World Couldn't Beat me, You Belonged to Me!

Honey, our Vows meant Nothing to You, but I Didn't Know!


We fought the Good Fight, for Thirty-Four Years,
And Weathered Life's Storms through Laughter and Tears.
God Blessed us with Two Children, and Much, Much More,
But you Crushed my Heart, when you Walked Out that Door.

Honey, our Vows meant Nothing to You, but I Didn't Know!


"For Better or Worse, for Richer or Poorer," the Words were Said,
"In Sickness and in Health, 'til Death do us Part" so we were Wed.
We were a Team, We were One, Never Ever to Part,
But Now there's No "We" 'Cept Deep Down in my Heart.

Honey, our Vows meant Nothing to You, but I Didn't Know!

Now I'm all Alone, and Feelin' so Blue,
And I Cry Real, Wet Tears, when Thinkin' of You.
Honey, if there's a Heaven, I'll be at your Side,
'Cause my Love Forgives You, my Sweetheart, my Bride!

Honey, our Vows meant Nothing to You, but I Didn't Know!
