I Cried But My Tears Were Too Late Lyrics - Hank Snow

One heart too many I have broken love dreams that faded away 

Too many teardrops have fallen too many vows cast aside 

Soft wedding bells should be ringing for us in the chapel tonight 

But this morning they tolled and her bright band of gold 

Was returned with this message tonight 

Your sweetheart has left us today heart broken God took her away 

That silk gown of white for her wedding tonight 

She wore as they laid her away 

Though she died for a love all in vain her last words were calling your name 

As I walked to her grave where the bluebonnets wave 

I cried but my tears were too late 

Tonight sweetheart as I kneel here alone beside you 

And my tears stain the flowers on your grave 

In deep regret I think of the heart that I have wounded 

Of the sorrow and grief and the life that I could have saved 

Yes tonight darling you were to be my loving bride 

But all that I have left now as I bow to pray 

Is your ring a picture the sad message that they sent me 

And this rose that I am taking from your grave 

Though she died for a love...
