I put my hand in my pocket, searching for my comb, I found a picture of a girl that
I'd once known. And it set my mind a thinking, what I thought I could forget, for one mistake
in my lifetime, my only one regret. I broke a promise, like I broke her heart so good,
she thought I'd never leave, but then again I knew I would. I can't explain it, couldn't
find the words to say, I knew I loved her in a very special way. As I gaze upon this
face, looking back at me, I know it's just a photograph, a tear-stained memory. But today
is not the first time, and I know it's not the last, when I'll be hurt by a memory, a
picture from the past. I broke a promise, like I broke her heart so good, she thought
I'd never leave, but then again I knew I would. I can't explain it, couldn't find the words
to say, I knew I loved her in a very special way. You're here with me, my darling, in the
palm of my hand, and as I'm dreaming, I'm hoping your love will understand. But tonight
I'll write a letter, with words straight from my heart, I'm asking your sweet forgiveness,
and to make another start. I broke a promise, like I broke her heart so good, she thought I'd
never leave, but then again I knew I would. I can't explain it, couldn't find the words to say,
I knew I loved her in a very special way, in a very special way.
