Robin Levinson - Marie Antoinette Lyrics

Looking back and all I see is lost opportunity
Yesterday there was time to waste, tomorrow comes in haste
Youth is such a fleeting thing, a Princess becomes a tawdry Queen
I think of the things that might have been if I had followed my dreams

I remember an Ava, there was an Yvette
But the face that still haunts me, my deepest regret
She gave me her love and she gave me her heart
And like some vagabonde, I tore it apart
The girl I still dream of, I'll never forget
Where are you now Marie Antoinette?

I never married, I prayed he would see
A wife and children, a lifetime with me
But he danced through France, was the toast of Paree
When did I lose my dreams?

Youth has a hunger, those years when we were younger
Mountains are there to be climbed
Life holds few dangers, fears are but strangers
Love is exciting and blind

I remember an Ava, there was an Yvette
But the face that still haunts me, my deepest regret
She gave me her love and she gave me her heart
And like some vagabonde, I tore it apart
The girl I still dream of, I'll never forget
Where are you now Marie Antoinette?

I sit in the sun a lonely old man
And reflect on the selfish race that I have ran
Given it over, would he do it again
Where did I lose my dreams

I remember an Ava, there was an Yvette
But the face that still haunts me, my deepest regret
She gave me her love and she gave me her heart
I gave him my love and I gave him my heart
And like some vagabonde, I tore it apart
And like some vagabonde, he tore it apart

The girl I still dream of, I'll never forget
Where are you now, Marie... Antoinette?
You broke my heart, you broke my heart
You broke the heart of Marie... Antoinette
