Lyrics
BACK IN TIME
I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW HER
IT WAS SUMMER, THE DAYS WERE LONGER
IF I COULD HAVE MET YOU YEARS AGO, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER
I WOULD LOVE HER LONGER
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
I'D HOLD HER IN MY ARMS THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS
I'D MAKE HER HAPPY THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE TEARS
WE'D MAKE NEW MEMORIES, THAT LATER WE COULD SHARE
WHEN WE ARE NINETY, HOLDING HANDS IN OUR ROCKING CHAIRS
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
I'D SEND HER PRETTY FLOWERS AND LOVE LETTERS
WE'D WATCH ROMANTIC MOVIES, TAKE WALKS TOGETHER
WE COULD LAY ON A BLANKET ON THE LAWN
WATCH THE SUNRISE AT DAWN
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
SATURDAY NIGHT WOULD BE OUR SPECIAL NIGHT
WE'D GO SLOW DANCING, DINNER BY CANDLE LIGHT
WHEN SUNDAY ROLLS AROUND. WE'D GET LAZY AND SLOW DOWN
HER ARMS WRAPPED AROUND ME, BLUE BERRY MUFFINS AND COFFEE
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
IF I COULD HAVE MET HER YEARS AGO, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER
I WOULD LOVE HER LONGER
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME
