I'm Sorry We Met
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
Though you have refused to see me my dear
You'd rather I'd be all alone
Still I can't forget the kisses we knew
And the days when I called you my own.
But you found another and you loved him too
My heart is broken I'm sad and I'm blue
I am sorry we met it's so hard to forget
The days that used to be.
--- Instrumental ---
Though you found another and you loved him too
My heart is broken I'm sad and I'm blue
I am sorry we met it's so hard to forget
The days that used to be.
And though you weren't true I still think of you
And your memory is so dear to me.
But you found another and you loved him too
My heart is broken I'm sad and I'm blue
I am sorry we met it's so hard to forget
The days that used to be...
