What was I thinking
When she came to say goodbye that night
She came to tell me
She'd fly away come morning light
I should have notice
Tears she held so deep inside
I should have known
Should have known
How could I let her
Slip away from my arms that night
I should have followed
And never let her far from sight
I should have known
She'd become the apple of my eye
I should have known
Should have known
I should have never
Never let her slip away
From these lonely arms of mine
Now it's my turn to cry
I should have followed
And cast away my silly pride
Now I long for her gentle touch
Her silly smile I miss so much
If I could hold her for a little while
I'd never, never, never let her go
Now I constantly relive that night
Long to reach hold her tight
Ah hope she found some happiness
Her love was pure, I must confess
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd do my best to make her mine
So many years have passed us by
Now it's my turn to cry
Ah I'd never, never, never let her go
I should have never
Never let her slip away
From these lonely arms of mine
Now it's my turn to cry
I should have followed
And cast away my silly pride
Now I long for her gentle touch
Her silly smile I miss so much
If I could hold her for a little while
I'd never, never, never let her go
