Lyrics
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MILLION YEARS CAN MAKE
I KNOW, BUT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE
HOW MANY DIFFERENT ROADS CAN TWO LONELY PEOPLE TAKE
I GUESS WE'VE DONE OUR BEST TO SEE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD
LAST TIME I SAW YOU WE WERE FREE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU I HELD YOU SO CLOSE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU YOU HELD ME
YOU HELD ME
NIGH ON MANY YEARS OF WANDERIN'
NOW I HAVE WANDERED BACK AROUND
THE DAY YOU FLEW AWAY I FELT THE EARTH SHAKE
AND NOW I STAND ON SHAKY GROUND
LAST TIME I SAW YOU IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD
LAST TIME I SAW YOU WE WERE FREE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU I HELD YOU SO TIGHT
LAST TIME I SAW YOU YOU HELD ME
YOU HELD ME
IT'S HARD TO PIN DOWN WHAT I'M MISSIN'
BUT LIFE WITHOUT YOU LEAVES ME COLD
THERE'S NIGHTS WHEN I COULD ALMOST TOUCH YOU
THE NIGHTS WHEN I AM MOST ALONE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD
LAST TIME I SAW YOU WE WERE FREE
LAST TIME I SAW YOU I HELD YOU SO LONG
LAST TIME I SAW YOU YOU HELD ME
YOU HELD ME
