She is there just sitting at the table 
Thinking now that things won't be the same 
And wouldn't you like to go with me? 
And she answered "No" to me but 
I guess I learned my lesson much to soon 

I never thought 
she'd leave me here forever 
But who knows just what the future brings 
And wouldn't 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 then be whole 

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 
Day that you'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
