She was there just sitting at thetable Thinking now that things won't be the same And would you like to go with me? And she asweredno to me But I guess I've learned my lesson much too soon never thought she'dleave me forever But who knows just what the future brings? And would she like to go with me? And she asweredno to me But I guess I've learned my lesson much too soon Take away this never ending sorrow Take this lonely feeling from my soul If only I knew what things bring tomorrow She'd be sitting here beside me And my heart would fill with gold Just... I hope to make a change nowfor thebetter Never letting fate control my soul And hoping that my prayers will see The day that you'll come back to me But I guess I've learned my lesson much too soon Yes, I guess I've learned my lesson much too soon
