an unfinished song (a poem?)

I actually had a tune in my head for these lyrics, but I can't work out how to play it on any of the instruments I tinker with. I also can't seem to get back into the same frame of mind that I had when I first started writing it, so I can't seem to add to it or improve it. So I thought I'd dump it on here, as it is, as 'a poem' and see if I can make something more of it later...

The bluest eyes I've ever seen
Were nestled in a beauty queen
We hooked up in a limousine
She helped to set me free

She was booked to do a fashion show
So caught a flight to Tokyo
and as I watched her turn to go
I knew we'd never be

On the plane to sunny Spain
We found each other yet again
She pulled me forward out of pain
And sent me back to us

Somewhere up Chicago way
She came and took my breath away
I feel in deep but couldn't stay
and left without a fuss

Sometimes doubts can come on strong
If it feels right I must be wrong
I know it won't be very long
Before I choose to bail

Now I know I'm past my prime
Everything that feels sublime
Can only last a little time
and then it starts to fail
