She was there just sitting at the table Thinking now that things won't be the same And wouldn't you like to go with me? And she answered "No" to me but I guess I learned my lesson much to soon I never thought she'd leave me here forever But who knows just what the future brings And wouldn't you like to go with me? And she answered "No" to me but I guess I 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 then be whole I hope to make a change now for the better Never letting fate control my soul And I'm hoping that my prayers will see Day that you'll come back to me But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon Oh, oh Yes, I guess I learned my lesson much too soon
