Let Love Live
An American Marine
On tour in Bahrain
Falls in love with a Princess
Love is his blame
The lengths that he went to
To protect his Meriam
Bring her to his America
To live and be with him
For although she was a princess
She wanted more from life
A prisoner in her royalty
She left and became his wife
Because she was an illegal
Asylum she has sought
Lost in the system
She became a forget me not
In May 2001
A Green Card came her way
The 9/11 bombings
Their marriage in disarray
Then came that final hour
Divorce was on the cards
Las Vegas night life grasped her
Their marriage, now in discard
This became the end of their journey
They went their separate ways
What could have been of a lifetime
Distance has had its say
