Well, I've been gone away for so long And I let our love slip her mind When I could have bought paper for a hundred love letters For the price of a thin silver dime It seems so small, almost like nothin' at all But it had it's moment in time I let her slip away, I could have called her today For the price of a thin silver dime If I could stop this whole world from turning If I could just go back in time I'd let her know my love was still burning And once more I'd try to make her mine If I had a million, I'd spend it all To buy back her love one more time But it hurts me to know I let her go For the price of a thin silver dime If I could stop this whole world from turning If I could just go back in time I'd let her know my love was still burning And once more I'd try to make her mine If I had a million, I'd spend it all To buy back her love one more time But it hurts me to know I let her go For the price of a thin silver dime Yes, it hurts me to know I let her go For pride and a thin silver dime
