Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?
Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you've been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Would you say
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

Back to the time when our love was fresh and new.
Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you've been so lonely
Would you admit that you also missed me and were lonely without me?
And you waited for the day that I return
Did you long for the day when I would come back?
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Could we commit to a lifetime of love and be each other's only one?
Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Have you moved on and turned the page on our love?

43 years old, and this song puts tears in my eyes everytime I hear it. Sometimes in life, there’s a song that tells your story… This is that song. 16 years later, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. Perhaps in the next life, we’ll find eachother and make it work. Everyday is a struggle, but I always manage to pull thru. For those who can relate to this song, my hearts with you… regret is a horrible thing to live with. God bless

"I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart
in two again".
At 63 I found the love of my life.
It's never too late.

Recupérate Sean, no hay de otra.
La Vida es Bella: POR FAVOR, NO TE LA PIERDAS.
Vuelve, VUELVE EN TI, como en tu infancia ¿Recuerdas? No te abandones:
¡YA NO!

I'm only 15 years old, and I could listen to Randy Travis all day! More people in my generation have been fed nothing but "Bro" Country! This is real country music, and there is no one in this world that can tell anybody differently.
