"Second Honeymoon" lyrics

Second Honeymoon

I walked up to the desk
And asked the man about a room
I asked about the bridal suite
I told him I'm the groom

Then I took the elevator
To the floor I was assigned
I fumbled with the key
The way I did that other time

Inside I thought of all the things
That started in this room
But I'm alone
On our second honeymoon

I hear the happy people
Laughing in the street below
But the loneliness I feel tonight
I hope you never know

The life that was a happy song
Has ended much too soon
I'm alone
On our second honeymoon

I look around the room and see
You standing everywhere
The fragrance from your bridal flowers
Seems to fill the air

The blushing bride that gave me
Such a free and eager kiss
Two loving arms around me
As you offered wedded bliss

We'd said that we'd return
To live it over in this room
But I'm alone
On our second honeymoon
Alone on our second honeymoon
