A Lifetime to Regret - George Jones

Tonight I’m all alone and brokenhearted

The love we knew I never shall forget

And ever since that lonely night we parted

I’ve got a lifetime to regret

They tell me you are happy with another

I wonder if my memory lingers yet

The things I said the night we said goodbye dear

Oh I’ve got a lifetime to regret

If we could just erase mistakes we’ve made dear

I’m sure we could find happy moments yet

But we can’t change the past and I’m afraid dear

That I’ve got a lifetime to regret

I know down in my heart that I’m forgiven

For I’m just like a fish caught in a net

I lost a love that made my life worth living

I’ve got a lifetime to regret
