lyrics

You could have been the one
If only I could turn back my clock
You could have been the one
But you're not, you're not, you're not

You're everything that I could wish
You're even better than I imagined
But it ain't gonna be, I have to settle for that
It ain't gonna be like that

I never believed that I would find you
If only I could turn back my clock
And now that I found you, what can I do
You're way out of my reach

You're everything I could ask for
You're like an angel from the sky
But it ain't gonna be, I sure do see
It ain't gonna be like that

And in a way this is how it should be
In a way I'm as happy as can be
This stage of life has already been closed for me
It seems

I don't need to play my cards
I don't need to show them to you
Life is not like winning a game
There is more to it than that

I don't want to drive you away
I want to keep you here
So I can see you, talk to you
Be with you
For as long as it will be
