  • I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again

    Ah listen
    It's funny you know when you sit down
    And think about what you had
    About the friends you used to know
    What happened, where did they all go
    Can you remember happy hours
    Spent drinkin' and thinkin'
    We thought we could change the world
    And we never, never, never, never, never
    Never thought we could get much older then

    We were the ones who loved to love the right to love
    We'd bring it on home with the right song
    Played at the right time
    What happened to the girl that you loved once and left
    Young man did you break her heart
    Did she live, and did she marry,
    Did she ever think on your face again
    Ah now hold on a minute

    I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
    Ah yeah

    I think what you say is all so right
    But I find it hard to jog my memories
    Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah

    Yes I think what you say is all so right
    But I find it hard to move my memories
    Say it again with a lot more feelin'

    And I think what you say is all so right
    But I find it hard to find my memories
    Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad

    But if I was true to myself
    I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
    That stopped me from believing you
    Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry

    You know my tongue gets tired
    When I think back on all of the things we do
    But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
    As years pass me by
    Ah when young bodies that've grown older
    And mind's become dimmer
    I'll point the finger back in time

    I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
    If I could, if I could live it all again, yeah Writer/s: ROD STEWART
