Lyrics
Never Should Have Let Her Go (2:48)
(Kerry Kingsland (c) 1998 SOCAN - All Rights Reserved)
Pulled in to town - it was gettin late
But I wanted to see her I couldn't wait
Its been three years since I've been gone
I didn't mean to lie when I told her I won't be long
CHORUS
And in my hand I held the note she had written
It said I'll wait for you until you come home
I hope the years haven't changed her feelings
Cause I'm back to let her know
I never should have let her go
I walked up the drive - heart beating fast
I was hopin the future could be like the past
She opened the door - I saw the look on her face
and I knew right then and there
It couldn't be the same
BRIDGE
And as I walked away it hurt to realize
if I'd never left she might still be mine
CHORUS
I pulled out of town - No second chance
I took too long to let her know
I never should have let her go
