This is an old country torch song that shows how beautiful three chords can sound. Said to say I don't know its origins, but the chorus goes, "pretty words, pretty words, you spoke such pretty words/ pretty words were like heaven to me..." I remember it from the soulful Tompall Glaser, and also believe the Amazing Rhythm Aces did it. Anybody here know it?

PRETTY WORDS
(Marty Robbins)

Too late to be sorry, too late to forget.
I don't know what's happened to me.
I know that I'm lonely. I know that I'm left.
Pretty words make a fool out of me.

Pretty words, pretty words, you spoke such pretty words.
You spoke pretty words warm and sweet.
Now you've gone. Here am I. Wanna smile but I cry.
Pretty words made a fool out of me.

Love that's strong for a day like a flower fades away,
Then I think of the things that could be.
I don't want to forget. I'm not sorry I left.
Pretty words make a fool out of me.

Pretty words, pretty words, how I love those pretty words!
Pretty words were like Heaven to me.
It's as plain as can be. It's so easy to see.
Pretty words made a fool out of me.
