Lyrics

The day before you left
Dropped in to say goodbye
I didn?t know it would be for the last time
You took me in your arms
See that sparkle in your eye
If I could have just seen ahead

The day before you left
Seemed like any other day
We laughed and talked about all kinds of things
Put your hand on my knee
You leant over and kissed my cheek
If I knew then, what I know now

CHORUS
You believed in me, when others could not see
You picked me up when I was down
You were always around

MUSIC INTERLUDE

The day before you left
You were meant to spend the night
Could not sleep you took the car for a drive
Memories are all we have now
If could have just seen ahead

CHORUS
You believed in me, when others could not see
You picked me up when I was down
You were always around

MUSIC INTERLUDE

If I could just have one moment more
I?d hold you tight and lock the door
Draw little pictures, every picture
Hold every thought in my mind
Looking in your eyes, I?d let you go
I?d let you go and say goodbye

CHORUS
You believed in me, when others could not see
You picked me up when I was down
You were always around

The day before you left
You dropped in to say goodbye
I didn?t know it would be for the last time
You take me in your arms
I see the sparkle in your eye
If I could have just seen ahead ?????
