Lifetime to Regret

George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses

Tonight I'm all alone and broken hearted

A love we knew I never shall forget

I tell myself that lonely night we parted

I got a lifetime to regret.



They tell me you are happy with another

And I wonder if my memory lingers yet

The things I said the night we said goodbye, dear

Oh, I got a lifetime to regret.



--- Instrumental ---



If we could just erase the mistakes we made, dear

I'm sure we could find happy moments yet

But we can't change the past and I'm afraid, dear

That I got a lifetime to regret.



I know down in my heart that I'm forgivin'

'Cause I'm just like the fish caught in a net

I know true love is what made my life worth livin'

I got a lifetime to regret...
