Willie Nelson - Countryman (2005) - You Left Me A Long, Long Time Ago lyrics

  • You tell me today that you're leaving
    But just think a while
    I'm sure that you must know
    Today might be the day that you walk away
    But you left me a long, long time ago

    Today's just the day that ends it all
    Except the usual mem'ries
    That always linger on
    And today might be the day that you walk away
    But you left me a long, long time ago

    I stood with helpless hands
    And watched me lose your love
    A little more each day
    Then it was gone
    And I kept wond'rin'
    Just how long until this day would come
    Just how long could your pride keep hangin' on

    So please don't say you're sorry
    Don't say anything
    Don't try to say why you must leave
    Just go
    And today might be the day that you walk away
    But you left me a long, long time ago
