It's too soon to know If I can forget her My heart's been broken In too many pieces And it's too soon to know Time passes slow Will I ever know If I can forget her And not let it show But it's too soon to know News travels fast when a love affair ends People keep asking: "What happened to them?" But it's too soon to know If I can forget her My heart's been broken In too many pieces And it's too soon to know My heart's been broken In too many pieces And it's too soon to know.
