I would have waited forever  If I'd known that you'd be here  We could have shared our lives together  And held each other close all through the years  But I've met someone before you  And my heart just couldn't wait  So no matter how much I adore you  I've got to stand behind the promise that I made    Where were you  When I could have loved you  Where were you  When I gave my heart away  All my life I've been dreaming of you  You came along one promise too late  You came along one promise too late    I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you  I can't have you but I never will forget you    Where were you  When I could have loved you  Where were you  When I gave my heart away  All my life I've been dreaming of you  You came along one promise too late  You came along one promise too late    Where were you  When I could have loved you  Where were you  When I gave my heart away  All my life I've been dreaming of you  You came along one promise too late  You came along one promise too late    these lyrics are submitted by Barbara
