The Bad and the Beautiful lyrics

Winter has come

To seal my fate

Just a year ago I took that final step

I 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 of 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

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
