Oh you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you.
Right or wrong, I'll always love you.
Oh you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you.
