Refrain:

It's over our love affair,
Too late now that I find I care,
Her sweet love no more I'll share,
Now she's gone, I'm alone, I was wrong, Should have known,
Took her home, After our last date.

I searched for a simple way,
To tell her what I had to say,
I kissed her watched her walk away,
Set her free, Foolishly, Destiny, Misery,

Tragedy, After our last date.

 

Bridge:
Took my ring from her finger,
Brushed tears from her eyes,
Walked away didn't know that I'd soon miss her so,
I Guess I was too young to realize.

 

Refrain:

So blind I could never see,
How much she really meant to me,
And that soon she would always be,
On my mind, In my heart, I was blind, From the start,
Lost her love, After our last date.
