She was there just sitting at the table
Thinking now that things won't be the same
And would 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 dimly go
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
The day that she'll come back to me
But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon
Yes, I guess I learned my lesson much too soon.
