Wind up the key, The musical heart, The tune starts.
It has a power, Memories of old, A fool's vows were told.
An inscription that states: 'Your wedding day', With bells and ribbons, frayed.
Many years old, My Mother's jewellery box, No locks.
I open it up, The memories here, Now all dead, I fear.
A love that was wrong, Right from the start, He broke her heart.
Long since he has passed, Leaving her alone, In that old people's home.
A man with no love to give, A man lost from life, A man without His wife.
