One Promise Too Late
as recorded by Reba McEntire


-----------------------------

CI would have Gwaited forFever
if I'd kCnown that you'd be Amhere.
FWe could have Cshared our lives Gtogether
and Dmheld each oFther close Gall through the G7years.

But I met someone before you
and my heart just wouldn't wait,
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made.

CHORUS:
Where were Amyou Fwhen I could have Cloved you?
Where were Amyou when I Fgave my heart GawaG7y?
All my Flife, GI've been dAmreaming of Fyou
You came alCong one Gpromise too AmlatFe
You came alCong one Gpromise too Clate.
(INSTRUMENTAL)

BRIDGE:
EmI won't say that I'm Amsorry that I met you.
EmI can't have you but I Fnever will fGorget yG7ou.

Where were you when I could have loved you?
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you.
You came along one promise too late.
You came along one promise too late.

(Repeat)

Notes: Reba sings in another key (I think E)
Capo up 4
