00:09I still drive by that old red barn, where we carved our names in a cedar arm.
00:20You wore my flannel barefoot in the hay, but I never found the words to make you stay.
00:37You packed your dreams in a secondhand form, chased the sunrise I never reached for.
00:47I thought I had time to make it right, now it's me and a porch light every night.
00:56You were the song I never sang, the diamond lost in the pouring rain.
01:07I held your love like it wouldn't fade, the time slipped through like a runaway train.
01:18Now everyone has haunt my soul, you were the one I let go.
01:31Mama said, son, you're too proud to bend.
01:36I laughed it off, but she knew back then.
01:42Now your picture's curled on my dashboard, son.
01:46And I whispered a ghost when the day is done.
01:53You were the song I never sang, the diamond lost in the pouring rain.
02:03I held your love like it wouldn't fade, the time slipped through like a runaway train.
02:15Now everyone has haunt my soul, you were the one I let go.
02:29I see you smile in a stranger's face, feel you in the wind and the empty space.
02:39If I had one more chance, if I had one more chance, one more try, I'd never let you say
02:45goodbye.
02:47You were the song I should have sung, the forever I lost when I stayed young.
02:58I thought love wastes, now I know you were the one I let go.
03:10Yeah, you were the one, the one I let go.
03:18Yeah, you were the one, the one I let go.
