[Verse 1]

And I wonder even now, whatever came of you

And I wonder even now, where you are

Even though I'm much too proud to ever say it

Your ghost still comes around to haunt my heart

[Refrain]

If only time

Could somehow turn the page

If only I

Hadn't walked away

[Verse 2]

I'm a desperate man who longs to stop the aching

I'm a desperate man who longs to find someone

Who can show me there is joy left for the taking

Who can show me there's a song left to be sung

[Refrain]

If only time

Could somehow turn the page

If only I

Hadn't walked away

[Chorus]

The lonely embrace of days gone by

So bitter the taste when love survives

But the one you loved is gone

[Bridge]

Now I know, now I know

We can't replace what we let go

And still I hope, still I hope

That time will ease the pain

Of losing something that was pure and beautiful

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

And I wonder even now, whatever came of you

And I wonder even now, where you are

[Chorus]

The lonely embrace of days gone by

So bitter the taste when love survives

But the one you loved is gone

[Outro]

La la la la la la la la la la la la

If only time could turn the page

La la la la la la la la la la la la

And take me back to yesterday

La la la la la la la la la la la la

All the things that I would change

La la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh oh
