The Bad And The Beautiful Letra

just a year ago I took that final step

took a gun and cut my sweet young lover down

the newspaper said that the bad and the beautiful

carry the burden of love

Now I simply refuse to cry

with a secret I'll take to my grave

for I have but an hour to go

now the hangman approaches death row

Oh Billy love your child has grown

I only hope that he won't be his mother's son

with a vein of madness poisoning his soul

regrets I have none but the bad and the beautiful

carry the burden in life

Now I simply refuse to cry

with a secret I'll take to my grave

for I have but an hour to go

now the hangman approaches death row

Goodbye to the world I love

you have done me no good, you know

my lullaby is a bell that tolls

as the hangman approaches death row

Now I simply refuse to cry

with a secret I'll take to my grave

for I have but an hour to go

now the hangman approaches death row

Simply refuse to cry

with a secret I'll take to my grave

for I have but an hour to go

now the hangman approaches death row
