If you come to our town take a ride take a ride
If you come to our town take a ride again with me

If you stop by the place where we lay where we lay
If you stop by the place where we lay

Please forget how I cried how I cried how I cried
Please forget how I cried on that day

And all those who would say who would say who would say
Why they thought you should marry me that day

I'll try not to think about
How I felt ten years a life ago
How I felt when you left me far behind

If your heart asks you who he or she would have been
If your heart asks you put it out of your mind

If in those you confide there is doubt there is doubt
If in those you confide there is doubt
Explain to them as you did to me did to me
How necessary leaving then would be

Know I've mourned quiet enough for myself and for you and
For the one we'll never come to know

I'll try not to think
I'll try I'll try not to cry
I'll try
