Lyrics
IT WAS LONG AGO ? SHE WAS YOUNG THEN,
SHE DIDN?T WANNA KNOW -
JUST A YOUNG GIRL HAVING FUN?
SHE DIDN?T FEEL THE NEED FOR ANYONE?
DIDN?T FEEL THE NEED FOR ANYONE.
HOW WAS SHE TO KNOW THEN
THAT LIFE WAS NOT JUST ONE BIG PARTY
THAT YOU NEED YOUR FRIENDS TO HANG ON TO -
OR THAT LATER YOU?D BE SORRY?
LATER SHE WAS SORRY.
AND I WISH I HAD YOU NOW, MY FRIEND
BUT I DON?T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE -
HOW TO FIND YOU OR WHAT TO SAY -
IF YOU?RE NEAR OR FAR?
AND IF I LEARNED ONE LESSON -
IT?S HOW TO SING THE BLUES?
MY ONE REGRET
IS LETTING GO OF YOU.
WE TAKE SO MUCH FOR GRANTED
AND IT?S ALWAYS JUST A BIT TOO LATE?
THAT BY THE TIME WE APPRECIATE EACHOTHER?
WE?RE SEPARATED BY SOME TWIST OF FATE?
AND IT?S ALWAYS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO LATE.
BUT HOW WAS I TO KNOW THEN
THAT LIFE WAS NOT JUST ONE BIG PARTY
THAT YOU NEED YOUR FRIENDS TO HANG ON TO -
OR THAT LATER YOU?D BE SORRY?LATER I WAS SORRY.
