The two of them sat at the water's edge
Beautiful was the reflection on the water from the sun
Watching them as I was hiding behind the hedge
The two of them cuddling as day was done

He never once in all our years held me that way
Actually we were rather awkward together
Being thirty years his senior he was bound to stray
And we never said it would be forever

So he found someone new and thinner
Some one he could take home to mother and dad
Someone his parents could say that he found a winner
As I watched them I was unexpectedly glad

Glad he was gone from my life so I could start over
Though we had invested too many years
When he was with me I knew he was a rover
He made me sad and I had shed too many tears

Once a rover always a rover and she'll be crying too
But my heart will heal and my memory of him will fade
In the end, you mark my words, he will get his due
For all the hurt he has caused he will be abuntantly paid

But I wish him well, I really do, I cannot hold a grudge
He was just acting himself and could not be another
I cannot, nor would I, ever the two of them judge
Mom and dad like her that he chose, especialy his mother

So fair thee well the two of you. I hope you make out fine
And if you ever walk my way please just walk on by
For he is yours now and no longer is he mine
I am happy now and he no longer can make me cry
