Vanity (2022 Remaster)

Vanity - Don Cherry

They call it vanity because I havd rather be

All by myself instead of laughing with the crowd

If I do not care to be part of their gaiety

They often say to me Do not be so proud

But how are they to know

I am looking high and low

For love that used to be my own

I never even glance

When I am offered new romance

I can not because I am yours alone

Till you forgive again

I will never live again

So will it be as long as we are far apart

It may be vanity to think you will come to me

But is it vanity to hide a broken heart

They call it vanity because I havd rather be

All by myself instead of laughing with the crowd

If I do not care to be part of their gaiety

They often say to me Don ot be so proud

But how are they to know

I am looking high and low

For love that used to be my own

I never even glance

When I am offered new romance

I can not because I am yours alone

Till you forgive again

I will never live again

So will it be as long as we are far apart

It may be vanity to think you will come to me

But is it vanity to hide a broken heart
