When we first met on the rooftop of that hotel Everyone around us could see we got on well   So we took the elevator straight up to the forty second floor When we kissed in your doorway it's like we never kissed before I was in love again and I knew that you were too We spent every night together nothing was taboo   And early in the morning with the sunlight in your hair I knew we'd stick together you were the answer to my prayers How could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I (how could I) be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) All the time we spent together so close and true Living for each other together thru the blues   Two stars crossed lovers beneath the Tennessee moon We were near as we could be to Johnny Cash and June How could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I (how could I) be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) For so long (for so long) For so long Then I heard a rumor from an old friend of mine You've been seeing someone else I never saw the signs   I hope he makes you happy and that he is happy too And just like all the others I'll get over you But how could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I (how could I) be so wrong (so wrong) for so long (so long) How could I be so wrong for so long
