so wrong for so long

when we first met on the rooftop of that hotel

everyone around us could see

we got on well

so we took the elevator straight up to the forty second floor

when we kissed in your doorway

it's like we never kissed before

i was in love again

and i knew that you were too

we spent every night together

nothing was kaboom

and early in the morning with the sunlight in your hair

i knew we'd stick together

you were the answer to my prayers

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

all the time we spent together so close and true

living for each other together thru the blues

two stars like lovers beneath the tennessee moon

we near as we could be to johnny cash and june

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

for so long

for so long

then i heard a rumor

from an old friend of mine

he been seeing someone else

i never saw the signs

i hope he makes you happy and that he is happy too

and just like all the others

i'll get over you

but how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long

how could i be so wrong for so long
