So Sad To See Ruby Fall

She’d been put upon a pedestal

From the men that she had known

She never felt the pain

Of being left alone

Cause she’d lived in palaces

Made gestures to the kings

It was the only life

That she had ever seen

Diamonds and rubies only

Graced her pretty neck

Once you laid eyes on her

You could never forget

And you would sell your soul

For just a little while

Just to feel the touch

To fall into her eyes

It never crossed her mind

That she would ever fall

She was the ballerina

That waltzed down the hall

The fairest of the maidens

The queen of the ball

And it never crossed her mind

That she would ever fall

She was the first to see it

But the last to realize

That her youthful glow

Somehow faded in the night

And all her sunny days

They’d turned to cold grey skies

But it was so hard for her to see it

For the tears filled her eyes

So sad to see Ruby fall

They used to call her every day

Now they never call at all

And now she feels the pain

Of being left alone

And it’s oh so sad to see Ruby fall

But the days passed swiftly

As flowers do fade

And as the night crashed on

Upon upon her pretty face

She’s once been a princess

Upon a silver throne

But after all these years

Only old she had grown

So sad to see Ruby fall

They used to call her every day

Now they never call at all

And now she feels the pain

Of being left alone

And it’s oh so sad to see Ruby fall

Sad so sad to see Ruby fall
