Lyrics
24 HOURS
(©2003 K Woodhams/P Tan/M Crocker)
V1. This time yesterday
I threw your love away
Made some changes
I wasn't ready for
Acting on impulse
I left and slammed the door
I wasn't thinking clearly
Wasn't thinking at all
P1. So angry, I cry myself to sleep
Whoever said that time heals
Didn't feel like me
Ch1. It's 24 hours since I've seen your face
What a difference a day makes
Who'd have thought 24 hours could bring such pain
What a difference a day can make
What a difference a day can make
V2. I take a long hot bath
Trying to relax
I listen to the Eagles
As tears run down my face
I think of better days
Lying in the park
Swept up by your magic
I gave you my heart
P2. As the leaves fall swirling round my feet
I watch young lovers
Wishing they were you and me
Ch2. It's 24 hours since I've seen your face
What a difference a day makes
Who'd have thought 24 hours could bring such pain
What a difference a day can make
What a difference a day can make
Br. Tic Toc Tic Toc Tic Tok Tic Tok Tic Tok Tic Toc
I want you back x2
Inst
Ch3 It's 24 hours since I've seen your face
What a difference a day makes
Who'd have thought 24 hours could bring such pain
What a difference a day makes
Ch4 (rpt full ch minus 2nd last line)
Outro. This time yesterday
I threw your love away
