Matt Monro — The Auction

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 I can't carry on All I want for this beautiful love Is freedom to find peacе of mind Though there werе 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, which is no good to me Surely there's someone to take her away and let me be free I tried many times but I know 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, which is no good to me Surely there's someone to take her away and let me be free I tried many times but I know I can't carry on My love is going, going, gone
