Lyrics
One time I read something that said
“Love comes but once in a lifetime”
I’m telling you love makes you blue
This time I guess is just my time
One sweet romance has just passed
But it was great while it lasted
Chorus
Tho’ we drifted apart
She’s a part of my heart
Lucille, Lucille
We had plenty of fun
‘N when all’s said and done
There’ll only be one Lucille
Tho’ she made me feel blue
If she wanted me to, I’d beg, I’d steal
I could never forget, I’d never regret
The day that I met, Lucille
I’m not looking for a new love
With the old love on my mind
Tho’ it wasn’t quite a true love
I know a new love is harder to find
What a sweet memory in every rose
I can see Lucille, so real
Tho’ she whispered “goodbye”
I know till I die
She’ll always be my Lucille
