I'd Like To Tell You
Hank Thompson · Hank Thompson & His Brazos Val [2003]
I cannot measure with any treasure how much I love you deep within
But it's too late now you found another our love we never can restore
I'd like to tell you how much I love you and take you in my heart once more
I broke my promise I broke my vow I broke your heart dear I'm sorry now
Your last goodbye will forever ring I lost you and everything
Each time I see you with another I cannot help the tears that start
I'd like to tell you how much I love you and take you back into my heart
[ fiddle ]I broke my promise...
