  • If I had another chance tonight
    I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
    Time can erase the love we shared
    But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

    Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
    I guess I held myself to blame
    Time can erase the things we said
    But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

    You know I won't hold you back now
    The love we had just can't be found
    You know I can't hold you back now

    Now that I'm alone it gives me time (ooh-ooh)
    To think about the years that you were mine (ooh-ooh)
    Time can erase the love we shared
    But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

    You know I won't hold you back now
    The love we had just can't be found (listen to me, baby)
    You know I can't hold you back now (oh)

    You know I won't hold you back now
    The love we had just can't be found
    You know I can't hold you back now
    The love we had just can't be found
    You know I can't hold you back now
    The love we had just can't be found Writer/s: Steven Lee Lukather
