An empty mailbox and the silent telephone Has quickly made me realize that something's wrong While crazy thoughts go racing through my tangled mind Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind Those long and lonely night I left you all alone Those little thoughts of kindness that I'd never shown Were things that seem so unimportant at the time Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind Oh Lord if I could just reverse the hands of time A million kisses for each heartache you would find But I had my chance and I fell to see the morning sun Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
