The Lakes of Alberta, Pt. II

I wanted to kiss you at Lake Lousie
It was calm, it was cool, it was still in the breeze
I still think about waiting expectantly
And the look in your eyes when you said to me:
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do. But..."

So we got in the car and drove back to Lake Claire
But you didn't say nothing the whole way there
Your brothers, and sisters, and husband were there
And I waited to say, at the foor of the stairs:
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do."

And I hope tonight that you're not fine
You're looking back on better times
Thinking about the things I said
To try and make you change your mind

Well, I still go for walks around Chestermere Lake
It's been seventeen years, but my heart still aches
I wanted to tell you that I'm still alone
And I hope that it's you on the end of the phone, saying:
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I made a mistake."
