It seems like such a long time ago, but I don't know if I'm ever gonna let her go Well, I remember the first time that I met her, I knew she was the one There couldn't be anybody better Well, I was lost when I looked in her eyes I didn't even have a chance, I didn't, I was mesmerized Well those eyes, those eyes, they made me realize... Sorry, Sorry... Well, I did not want it to be Sorry, Sorry... I could not see Sorry, Sorry... Well Lord, how could this be? Sorry, Sorry... Well, it's raining down on me Well, I know it sounds crazy to say But in everything I do, I think about that day Last time I talked to her was on the telephone She said "I know it's been a while, but I don't feel like being alone" I slammed down the phone on the last thing I'd hear her say Now it's getting harder to live with it every day And I pray, I pray that you can hear me say Sorry, Sorry... I could not see Sorry, Sorry... But it don't seem fair to me Sorry, Sorry... Lord, how could this be? Sorry, Sorry... It's raining right down on me I'M SORRY Not a day goes by when I do not sit and wonder why this had to be It don't seem fair to me No, no, no, no. how could this be?
The more I wish and pray, the more it seems I waste away But it would mean oh so much if I could just reach out and our hands would touch And if I'd just go back again I know it'd all be different, have a happy end I know exactly right where I'd start I'd send her a letter straight from my heart It doesn't seem fair, why can't I forgive? She was oh so young, she didn't even have a chance to live And it's oh so hard to forgive Sometimes people think I don't know what to say because I'm looking out in space But inside I'm praying I pray, I pray, I pray, pray, pray And then I think about the day she died About that night and in the morning I'd cry cry cry And I cried, I cried just as hard as I could Sorry... Well, I did not want it to be Sorry... Well, it don't seem fair to me Sorry... Lord, how could this be? Sorry... She died, but it's k**ing me When will it come that time when it'll be my day? And I wonder what I'll see and what you'll think and if I'll have the courage to stay When I last was seen, thinkin' out of my head, it won't do it for me I'll start by looking her straight in the eye And tell her that I'm Sorry
