i wouldn't go that far

i'll never forget that night long ago

when he drove me down that old dusty road

he took me as far as i'd ever been

he wanted me and i wanted him

but i'd always been told i shouldn't give in

i wouldn't go that far

i didn't follow my heart

he said he loved me

but i wasn't ready

and i wouldn't go that far

he was so patient

he didn't give up

with a ring in his hand and a heart full of love

he asked me for forever

i asked him to wait

to please understand these dreams i must chase

though it was a promise i wanted to make

i wouldn't go that far

i didn't follow my heart

he said he loved me

but i wasn't ready

and i wouldn't go that far

after all these years. i saw him again

he had his wife and his family with him

he said he was proud of all my success

he guessed both of us had found happiness

i wouldn't go that far

i didn't follow my heart

he said he loved me

but i wasn't ready

and i wouldn't go that far

yes

i knew he loved me

but i wasn't ready

and i wouldn't go that far
