I am further from you than any, I who was nearer than all; I am now only one of the many Your charms and beauty enthrall.
I left you and vow'd I'd forget you, The pride in my heart made me strong, But the hours are long to the lonely And I wonder the day and night long.
If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry" Would you be just a little sorry too? If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry" Heart that once was mine, what would you do?
The rose no more can live without the sunshine
Than I can live without your presence dear; Tell me, would two lips I miss Meet me half way with a kiss If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry?"
Thro' the window of memry's mansion, Far down the path of the past; There the fragments I see of a friendship, A friendship to fragile to last.
And somewhere tonight you're surrounded
By others you think far more true
But no other shall share you I swear it: Far from Lonesomeland I'm asking you.
If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry" Would you be just a little sorry too? If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry" Heart that once was mine, what would you do?
The rose no more can live without the sunshine
Than I can live without your presence dear; Tell me, would two lips I miss Meet me half way with a kiss If I come back to you and said "I'm sorry?"
