11.[Chorus 3]

Hey, yeah yeah

Verse 1

You don't know what you've got

Till the love is almost gone

This time, yeah she's given up

Still in a state of shock

I should've seen it coming on

It's too late for waking up

Pre-Chorus 1

Her mind's made up

I know the dream is over

But my heart just can't let go

Chorus 1

She's too good to be forgotten

Too good to be true

Before my world is torn apart

I'll promise her the moon

I'll promise her the moon

Verse 2

I was too blind to notice her

Wrapped up in myself

Workin' hard overtime, night and day

I thought we were so secure

Can' imagine someone else

Could come between us

And take her away

Pre-Chorus

Her mind's made up

I know the dream is over

But my heart just can't let go

Chorus 2

She's too good to be forgotten

Too good to be true

Before my world is torn apart

I'll promise her the moon

I'll promise her the moon

Interlude

And all the time she stood by me

I never said "I love you"

Yeah, I kept it deep down in my soul

And all the while I've been a fool

yeah, yeah yeah.

Chorus 3

She's too good to be forgotten

Too good to be true

Before my world is torn apart

I'll promise her the moon

I'll promise her the moon

Hey, yeah yeah

I'll promise her the moon

Hey, yeah
