(William C. Rainsford)

It's been many years now since you left me
But your love and your mem'ries they're still like you
I've tried everything I could to forget you
Now there's only one thing left to do.

I know it's not right this way I'm thinking
But then nothing's been right since you said we were through
I just can't stand another minute of this hurtin'
So there's only one thing left to do.

Now I hope God will understand and forgive me
And let me find the peace that I once knew
And meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right it's all right
It was the only thing left to do.

I only hope that God meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right
It was the only thing left to do...
