My Song (Too Far Gone)

He was just another boy from Georgia

Playing in a rock 'n' roll band

I was living in L.A., in a Hollywood way

Then I met him and he loved me

We got married

Now he's too far gone to hold me

Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me

Too far gone, and he doesn't really know

No, he'll never get to know his son

Now I know that I'm a stubborn woman

But I knew he was a passionate man

Though our feelings were intense

Our problems were immense

But we tried hard and we held on

But we let it go

Now he's too far gone to hold me

Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me

Too far gone, and he doesn't really know

God, he'll never get to know his son

It's hard to cut it loose

But only one man holds the key

What I did to many men

Was finally done to me

Now I'm tryin' not to fall to pieces

But I think about him every day

When I lay down by his side

Tears of love would fill my eyes

Oh, I loved him and he loved me

But we let it go

Too far gone, too far gone

And he doesn't really know

God, he'll never get to know his son, his son
