My Song (Too Far Gone)

He was just another boy from Georgia
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
I was living in L.A., in a Hollywood way
Then I met him and he loved me
We got married

Now he's too far gone to hold me
Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me
Too far gone, and he doesn't really know
No, he'll never get to know his son

Now I know that I'm a stubborn woman
But I knew he was a passionate man
Though our feelings were intense
Our problems were immense
But we tried hard and we held on
But we let it go

Now he's too far gone to hold me
Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me
Too far gone, and he doesn't really know
God, he'll never get to know his son

It's hard to cut it loose
But only one man holds the key
What I did to many men
Was finally done to me

Now I'm tryin' not to fall to pieces
But I think about him every day
When I lay down by his side
Tears of love would fill my eyes
Oh, I loved him and he loved me
But we let it go

Too far gone, too far gone
And he doesn't really know
God, he'll never get to know his son, his son
