Sorry I'm so late, but I've been out a-walkin'   Trying to find a way to tell you what I think you already know   I'd never want to hurt you, cause darling I still love you   But things aren't like they used to be - it's time for lettin' go      I wasn't out there lookin', but a month ago last Sunday   I met someone just like you in line at the grocery store   We've been spending time together, yeah she knows all about you   The truth is she can give me what you can't anymore      (Chorus:)   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 caretaker's waiting he wants to close the gate      (Repeat chorus)      It wouldn't end this way
