BETTY ... accepting that bad things happen to good people

lyrics

At the break of dawn
Betty woke to find her lover gone
Without a tear on her face
She set the table with his place

And asked why
"If you loved me oh so true
And like no other lover do
you say goodbye?"

Betty you're not a child
But you give the sad and sorry things a smile
Your goodness and your grace
Could put a bad man in his place

So you must wonder why
A man who loved you oh so true
And want you like no other do
Would say goodbye

Betty you did nothing wrong

Change has come
And though you're sad
What you knew is gone

At the close of the day
The moon and stars near and far
Have nothing more to say
You straighten your affairs
Make the bed
Put ribbons in your hair

And ask why
One who loved you oh so true
And like no other lover do
Would say goodbye

Betty you did nothing wrong
Oh Betty you did nothing wrong
Oh Betty
You did nothing wrong
