A Little Too Late
A Little Too Late Today I bought you flowers for the first time ever Today I got down on my knees and told you I would love you forever Today I knew we would never have another fight Today I prayed for God to help me walk in His Light Today I vowed I would never have another drink and God knows I meant it Today I chose to gaze at your beautiful face instead of the television Today I learned you cannot go back and fix the mistakes of the past Today I learned of both a love and pain that will forever last Today I found out what really being sorry is all about Today I found that with you I would have to do without Yes all these things I learned in just one day Lessons that really came at too high a price for anyone to have to pay Because last night you begged me not to get behind the wheel But I let alcohol take over and it helped me kill My inner battle with rage spilled over and I made you get in with me It wasn't the first time; but the last time it will be Today my penance began for the wrongs I committed against you For last night I lost the only one in my life that was pure and true Just yesterday I was blind and could not see Now I see through pain much too clearly Last night I didn't even get to say goodbye And that can't be changed no matter how much I cry Today I could only say goodbye to a cold hard stone Then turned and walked away with grief to bear alone For today I laid you down to rest God set it before me; but I failed the test Yes today I learned of things both small and great Only today was just a little too late By: Aletha Humphrey Copywrite 2000
