[Verse 1]
The first time we met time stood still
You left me breathless
Suddenly spechless
Within the hour we were one
Two total strangers kissing the moonlight

[Chorus]
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry it had to die
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry

[Verse 2]
We fell in love between the nights
Of too many lovers and too many teardrops
And fate won't resist some satin sheets
I was so helpless
Totally ruthless

[Chorus 2]
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry, cry

[Bridge]
Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down
Makes you go round and round and round
Time makes a stop then it's all gone
Funny how memories keep lingering on

[Chorus]
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry it had to die
I'm really sorry I made you cry

[Chorus 2]
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry, cry
