Seems like such a long time ago
But I don't know if I'm ever gonna let her go
Well, I remember the first time that I met her
I knew she was the one, there couldn't be anybody better
Well, I was lost when I looked in her eyes
I didn't even have a chance, I didn't, I was mesmorized
Well, those eyes, those eyes, they made me realize
Sorry, sorry, I didn't know what was to be
Sorry, sorry, I could not see
Sorry, sorry, Lord, how could this be?
Sorry, sorry, it's raining down on me
Well, I know it sounds crazy to say
But in everything I do, I think about that day
Last time I talked to her was on the telephone
She said I know it's been a while, but I don't feel like being alone
I slammed down the phone on the last thing I'd hear her say
Now it's getting harder to live with it every day
And I pray, I pray that you can hear me say
Sorry, sorry, I could not see
Sorry, sorry, it don't seem fair to me
Sorry, sorry, Lord, how could this be?
Sorry, sorry, it's raining right down on me
Now I'm sorry
♪
Not a day goes by when I do not sit and wonder why this had to be
It don't seem fair to me, no, no, no, no, it don't seem fair to me
The more I wish and pray, the more it seems I waste away
But it would mean, oh, so much if I could just reach out and our hands would touch
And if I'd just go back again
I know it'd all be different, have a happy end
I know exactly right where I'd start
I'd send her a letter straight from my heart
It doesn't seem fair, why can't I forgive?
She was, oh, so young, she didn't even have a chance to live
And it's, oh, so hard to forgive
Sometimes people think I don't know what to say
'Cause I'm looking out in space, but inside I'm praying
I pray, I pray, I pray, pray, pray
And then I think about the day she died
About that night and in the morning I'd cry, cry, cry
And I cried, I cried just as hard as I could
So sorry, sorry, I didn't know what was to be
Sorry, sorry, well, it don't seem fair to me
Sorry, sorry, Lord, I'll always be
Sorry, sorry, she died but it's killing me
When will it come that time when it'll be my day
And I wonder what I'll see and what you'll think
And if I'll have the courage to stay
When I last was seen, thinkin' out of my head, won't do it for me
I'll start by looking her straight in the eye
And telling her that I'm sorry
