Torn From The Pages Of Life

Torn From The Pages Of Life

This song is by Stonewall Jackson.

I used to think money could buy anything
But just look at my life I've lived in vain
I spent all my money to get things my way
Not knowing that I would regret it someday

These are the lessons I've learned the hard way
Torn from the pages of life
Torn from the pages of life

My greatest blessing was a pretty young girl
Sent like the sunshine to brighten my world
But foolishly I drove her out of my life
And no amount of money can make her my wife

These are the lessons I've learned the hard way
Torn from the pages of life
Torn from the pages of life

With deepest regret my debts I must pay
Cause my love and fortune I threw away
Like a fool in his folly that's wasted his life
Rewarded by heartaches trouble and strife

These are the lessons I've learned the hard way
Torn from the pages of life
Torn from the pages of life
