I'll never forget that night long ago

When he drove me down that old dusty road

He took me as far as I'd ever been

He wanted me and I wanted him

But I'd always been told I shouldn't give in



I wouldn't go that far

I didn't follow my heartv He said he loved me

But I wasn't ready

And I wouldn't go that far



He was so patient, he didn't give up

With a ring in his hand and a heart full of love

He asked me for forever, I asked him to wait

To please understand these dreams I must chase

Though it was a promise I wanted to make



I wouldn't go that far

I didn't follow my heart

I knew he loved me

But I wasn't ready

And I wouldn't go that far



After all these years, I saw him again

He had his wife and his family with him

He said he was proud of all my success

He guessed both of us had found happiness



But I wouldn't go that far

I didn't follow my heart

I knew he loved me

But I wasn't ready

And I wouldn't go that far

Yes, I knew he loved me

But I wasn't ready

And I wouldn't go that far
