"You Left Me A Long, Long Time Ago" lyrics - WILLIE NELSON

You tell me today that you're leaving
But just think a while, I'm sure that you must know

[Chorus:]
Today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

Today's just the day that ends it all
Except the usual memories that always linger on

[Chorus:]
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

[Instrumental break]

I stood with helpless hands and watched me lose your love
A little more each day, then it was gone
And I kept wondering just how long until this day would come
And just how long could your pride keep hanging on

[Bridge:]
So please don't say you're sorry, don't say anything
Don't try to say why you must leave, just go

[Chorus:]
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

[Outro:]
You left me a long, long time ago
