Johnny Cash Second Honeymoon song lyrics

Second Honeymoon

I walked up to the desk and asked the man about a room

I asked about the bridal suite, I told him I'm the groom

Then I took the elevator to the floor I was assigned

I fumbled with the key the way I did that other time

Inside I thought of all the things that started in this room

But I'm alone on our second honeymoon

I hear the happy people laughing in the street below

But the loneliness I feel tonight I hope you never know

The life that was a happy song has ended much too soon

And I'm alone on our second honeymoon

I look around the room and see you standing everywhere

The fragrance of your bridal flowers seems to fill the air

The blushing bride that gave me such a free and eager kiss

Two loving arms around me as you offered wedded bliss

We'd said that we'd return to live it over in this room

But I'm alone on our second honeymoon
