When I look back at all my yesterdays And how many of those I threw away When I sit and think of what might have been It stirs up those old feelings again But I’ve lived to learn that I was a fool My biggest regret is walking away from you [chorus] Oh, Elizabeth I never should have said, Goodbye the way I did That night has been living in my soul Since the day I let you go Oh, oh, Elizabeth I have so much regret Your crying eyes I just can’t forget They will haunt me until my death Oh, oh, Elizabeth Back then, I wanted more freedom in my life And I blamed you for wanting to be a good wife I didn’t want to take that next step with you I still wanted to runaway with my youth But after twenty years of sowing those oats, I see I should have never set you free [chorus] Oh, Elizabeth I never should have said, Goodbye the way I did That night has been living in my soul Since the day I let you go Oh, oh, Elizabeth I have so much regret Your crying eyes I just can’t forget They will haunt me until my death Oh, oh, Elizabeth Since those days, I’ve seen you around a time or two Every time we talked, I knew our memories had died for you You found your someone and moved on from me While I kept chasing what I thought would make me happy But as time passed our memories grew strong Until it hit me how I was so wrong [chorus] Oh, Elizabeth I never should have said, Goodbye the way I did That night has been living in my soul Since the day I let you go Oh, oh, Elizabeth I have so much regret Your crying eyes I just can’t forget They will haunt me until my death Oh, oh, Elizabeth Oh, oh, Elizabeth Your crying eyes I just can’t forget… Oh, oh, ohhhhhh, Elizabeth [end song]
