It's been many years now since you left me

But your love and your mem'ries they're still like you

I've tried everything I could to forget you now there's only one thing left to do

I know it's not right this way I'm thinking

But then nothing's been right since you said we were through

I just can't stand another minute of this hurtin' so there's only one thing left to do

Now I hope God will understand and forgive me

And let me find the peace that I once knew

And meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right it's all right

It was the only thing left to do

I only hope that God meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right

It was the only thing left to do
