Somewhere Along The Line

Somewhere Along The Line - Dinah Washington and her Trio

Written by：Merrick/Washington

Somewhere along the line

You met this heart of mine

Would it unwind it

Now you would shun it over a glass of wine

Friends knew it all the time

That no weeding bells would chime

I was just a young dreamer

No match for a schemer

Your's was a lover's crime

Folks gossiped

They said it was too good to be true

They even bet you'd search for someone new

This pendent world of ours was paradise

And I was blind with star dust in my eyes

While you like gambler with his last dime

I know you will try it one more time

But I prayed like Napoleon Bonaparte

You'll meet your

Waterloo somewhere along the line

I know you hurt me the first time

I stay somewhere yeah I

Somewhere along the line
