Lyrics

IF I COULD © Bob Ross/Earl.C.Webb)

It's raining hard tonight, this ain't my town, and I should be home by now
But I'm standing on the pavement by our old front door
Crying like you wouldn't know how

If I had the chance, to love you just once more then you would know
If I could hold you like I held you then, I'd never let you go

It all looks so familiar, but this lock won't fit my key
But I'm pleased that things worked out for you
It's just ain't the way things panned out for me

Something in the way you moved
Just got me every time
Something in that smile, I can't forget

I hear the fairground noise; the hot dog stall, waves breaking out on the shore
At least it's someone else who's losing on the penny arcade
I couldn't stand to lose anymore

If I had the chance, to love you just once more then you would know
If I could hold you like I held you then, I'd never let you go

How long 'till I stop remembering, everything that we did here?
How long does it take for memories to completely disappear?

I know that driving here was a big mistake, what did I think that I'd achieve?
I left it all behind me many years ago; you're just the part I didn't leave

Something in the way you move
Still gets me every time
Something in that smile, I can't forget

If I had the chance, to love you just once more then you would know
If I could hold you like I held you then, I'd never let you go
If I could love you like I loved you then, if only for a day
If I could hold you like I held you then, you'd never slip away



It's raining hard tonight, this ain't my town, and I should be home by now
But I'm standing on the pavement by our old front door
Crying like you wouldn't know how
