In a week or two I would've been ready I would have known what to say But I missed my chance And the words "I love you" Came just a little too late Chorus: In a week or two I was gonna bring you diamonds In a week or two A long, long string of pearls And we would've run down to the river at night Sailed away just me and you In a week or two A little more time Was all I needed But somehow fall became spring You put off today What you can do tomorrow Sometimes you don't do the thing Chorus These words in my heart Never had a chance to be heard But I'm tellin' you now For all that it's worth Chorus
