[VERSE]
He was a tall, dark, glass of whiskey
Oh, the summer nights with him
My heart, it knew not what was coming
When I looked into those eyes

[HOOK]
How could something so good turn to black, black?

[Chorus]
He was someone I will reminisce, for the rest, of my days
He could take me higher than the rest, simply just the best, simply just the best

[VERSE 2]
There was deceit under his halo
Oh, a brokenness within
I did my best to numb his sorrows
But the nights grew tired and thin

[HOOK]
How could something so good turn to black, black?

[Chorus]
He was someone I will reminisce, for the rest, of my days
He could take me higher than the rest, simply just the best, simply just the best
[BRIDGE]
He became a wanderer, a wanderer, he was
Gone, now a mystery, what misery, my love, my love, my love

[Chorus]
He was someone I will reminisce, for the rest, of my days
He could take me higher than the rest, simply just the best, simply just the best
