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
