Play It For Me

Play It For Me

Amidst the shadows of war

Love like a full moon shone

She thought she was free

Paris, a place for lovers

Now by Nazis smothered

Train whistle warning ill

The jilted lover hoping still

No message, no warning

A dark eclipse, his heart still yearning

Of all the times to be reunited

Of all the bars, of all the places

She walked into his life again

Not as a radiant blushing bride

Her loving husband was at her side

A tragic menage a trois

With only two invitations

Love and loyalty are daggers drawn

Someone’s heart forever torn

His bar a waiting room of hope

On neutral ground adversaries

Play a deadly game of life roulette

Letters not numbers were the prize

The ultimate altruistic gift of love

A noble lie she saw straight through

True love torn and finally ended

On the ground the start of a beautiful friendship
