The Visit – George Jones

Sorry, I’m so late
But Ive been out a-walkin’
Trying to find a way to tell you
But I think you already know

I never want to hurt you
Cause darlin’ I still love you
But things aren’t like they used to be
Its time for lettin’ go

I wasn’t out there lookin’
But a month ago last Sunday
I met someone just like you
In line at the grocery store

We’ve been spending time together
Yeah, she knows all about you
The truth is, she can give me
What you cant anymore

I know I promised you forever
I never thought Id see this day
If only I could write the pages
Our story wouldn’t end this way

I feel so much better
Knowing we could have this moment
But it looks like, it may rain soon
And its gettin’ kind of late

Hon Ill always bring you roses
Every time I come to visit
The caretakers waiting
They want to close the cave

I know I promised you forever
I never thought Id see this day
If only I could write the pages
Our story wouldn’t end this way
It wouldn’t end this way
