Sorry I'm so late but I've been out a-walking Trying to find a way to tell you but I think you already know I'd never want to hurt you cause darling I still love you But things aren't the way they use to be it's time for letting go I wasn't out there looking but a month ago last Sunday I met someone just like you in line at the grocery store We've been spending time together yes she knows all about you The truth is she can give me what you can't anymore I know I promised you forever I never thought I'd see this day If only I could write the pages Our story wouldn't end this way I feel so much better knowing we could have this moment But it looks like it may rain soon and it's getting kind of late Hon I'll always bring you roses every time I come to visit The caretakers waiting he wants to close the gate I know I promised you forever I never thought I'd see this day If only I could write the pages Our story wouldn't end this way It wouldn't end this way
