C G F
I would have waited forever
C Am
if I'd known that you'd be here.
F C G
We could have shared our lives together
Dm F G G7
and held each other close all through the years.
But I met someone before you
and my heart just wouldn't wait,
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made.
Am F C
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Am F G G7
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
F G Am F
All my life, I've been dreaming of you
C G Am F
You came along one promise too late
C G C
You came along one promise too late.

BRIDGE:
Em Am
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you.
Em F G G7
I can't have you but I never will forget you.
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you.
You came along one promise too late.
You came along one promise too late.
