I aint got a whole lot of money
I aint got a whole lot of time
So I'm writing you here this letter here
Tell you what's on my mind
Been a long time coming
That you gotta know is true
I aint got too much money, honey
And I aint got time for you
You see before I knew you, dear
I had me another love
He was tall and dark and handsome
The one I called the one
Thought it was a long time coming then too
But I found through all my doubt
That I had been the fool
So I'm leavin' back where I belong
Goin' out west
Where my one, true love carries on
And I feel like cryin'
But I don't know why
'Cause I know
Love never dies
And some things have gotta change
Drivin' out into the sunset
All my windows down
Lookin' back on all the memories
The radio's playin' loud
But I can't hear a thing
I'm really not there at all
I'm dancing with you sweetly, dear
And I hear our bodies fall
No, I never wore
Your wedding ring
I regret I never could
Never mothered your child
Or seen you in its smile
And I feel like cryin'
But I don't know why
'Cause I know
Love never dies
And some things have gotta change
♪
I see that since I left you, dear
You found you another love
She's gone and given up her hand
The one you call the One
Guess it was a long time coming
That I really got mine, too
Through all the miles and memories
I am still the fool
So I'm leavin'
Back where I come from
It is more bitter than sweet
To see you with her carry on
And I feel like crying
But I'll hold back the tears
'Cause I know
Love never dies
And some things have gotta change
Some things have gotta change
