Lyrics
If only, if only we could start all over once again
Forget our rocky past and learn to love like when
We had so much to give, We were so young back then, Can't we pretend
If only, if only you would smile, Your eyes lit up the room
You took my hand in yours - my heart flew to the moon
You held me close we danced across the floor so tall - Love was all around
How could we know what lay ahead, All the pain and the anger
From the things that were said, Now we're nothing but strangers
Trapped in our cages, Helplessly watching their lives slip by
They're not coming twice, Kids always pay the worst price, Don't say there's
not one more try
If only, if only we could talk and hear the other's words
Forget our swords and stones, Just listen, just be heard
The silence speaks so loud, No running can escape the stormy clouds
Interlude
If only, if only we could start all over once again
Recall our rocky past and learn from TIME, our friend
We have so much to give, Our souls yearn to be free - if only
Please return to me, Please just stand and be - FREE Be safe with me -- Please...
