Queen Anne's Lace Lyrics

Del Mccoury Queen Anne's Lace

With every golden curl in place
She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace
No one could ever fault
The way she looks tonight

The man standing by her side
Shows her off with such eager pride
Seems since I saw her last
She done all right

She could never place me in her mind
For me the years have not been kind
She'd never see the boy she knew
In the man I've grown to be

From her station and her place
She'd never recognize my face
I have fallen like a wind blown leaf
From her memory

For she's traded all her pain
For bright lights and chilled champagne
And I'm sure her new found friends
All think they know just where she's been

Yes, they think they know here well
All the stories I could tell
She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace
But I knew her when

Oh, it's hard to believe, I know
But she once loved me long ago
I suppose I should be hurtin'
Just to see her once again

Oh, but now that she's grown so proud
I wouldn't want her anyhow
She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace
But I knew her when

For she's traded all her pain
For bright lights and chilled champagne
And I'm sure her new found friends
All think they know just where she's been

Yes, they think they know here well
All the stories I could tell
She's as fine as Queen Anne's lace
But I knew her when
