We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart
You brought along the lawyer and I brought a broken heart
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do

You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to blue

I couldn´t help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue

The judge forgot to tell me how I´d live my life alone
What I would do without you after loving you so long
He didn´t seem to care that I am still in love with you

You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
I couldn´t help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
