The Auction

Matt Monro

What am I bid for this beautiful love?
A love long ago that was mine
What will you give for this genuine dream?
A dream that has faded with time

Once, I believed she was safe in my heart
Though I valued her love it was wrong from the start

So, what am I bid for this beautiful love that just couldn't be?
What am I bid for this pure work of art that's no good to me?
Surely, there's someone to take her away and let me be free
I tried many times, but I know that I can't carry on

All that I want for this beautiful love
Is freedom to find peace of mind
Though there were times when I loved her so much
In faith, I was totally blind
What can you do when your dreams fall apart?
How can you fight what you feel in your heart?

So, what am I bid for this beautiful love that just couldn't be?
What am I bid for this pure work of art, that's no good to me?
Surely there's someone to take her away and let me be free
I tried many times but I know that I can't carry on

So, what am I bid for this beautiful love that just couldn't be?
What am I bid for this pure work of art, that's no good to me?
Surely there's someone to take her away and let me be free
I tried many times but I know that I can't carry on
My love is going, going, gone
