Time won’t stand by forever if I know it’s true
And I’ve learned not to say never
Or else I’ll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you’d think I’d know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don’t have much of a finish
That’s the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There’s no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take ’em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell…

She used to love me
But she just couldn’t say it
Her friends just told me
I just found out today
I could have had her in my arms
But I didn’t know
That she used to love me
But that was twenty-five women ago
If she just could have told me
You know I would have been true
But she knows all about the girls that I’ve had
There’s not a thing I can do
Why did they have to tell me
I wish that I just didn’t know
That I could have been happy
But that was twenty-five women ago
I close my eyes and I see her
She’s even lovelier now
I want to ask her to give me one more chance
But I don’t even know how
And then she speaks to me softly
And says there’s one thing that I know
You get but one chance at true love
And yours was twenty-five women ago

Well, she’s leaving today I do know so far away
I’m feeling so blue and it shows in every single way
Once that girl she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night now all I do is cry
They say you can’t miss something you’ve never had
So tell me why
Why I could feel so bad…
We used to walk down the path just like lovers do
She’d hold my hand and we’d laugh
I’d stare in her eyes they were blue
Once that girl she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night now all I do is cry
They say you can’t miss something that you’ve never had
So tell me why
Why I could feel so bad…
