I wish I could tell you,
"She walked away tonight"
But I never even got the chance.
Could I fly away to another world?
Or turn back time, to be with you.
And say the right words
Or feed you one more line.
Should I have taken you outside,
To watch the snow fall down on the grass?
Should I taken some more time,
To listen to the story of your past?
But as the grass grows greener,
You're still just a vision in my head.
Hours pass and on and on until i'm dead.
So many chances come and gone.
And I wish I could tell you,
"She meant nothing, I'll never do it again"
I retraced my steps and walked into the woods
I found the tree with both our names
Carved and there I stood.
Should I have driven a mile more?
Instead of turning back when i was near.
Should I have told you this before?
I held back words because of all my fear.
The road is winding ever so, I'm never going back
You're still a vision in my soul.
It's crowded in my mind
I don't have time, to cross what lies ahead.
I'm stuck here in the past,
and while you live a while longer, you'll look back.
And see
something that was once, but couldn't be.
A fault I'd never risen, never blamed.
but to you it's all the same.
I remember our first moonlit evening stroll.
Candlelight picnic on the knoll
Then it stops and just gets hazy.
Or is my mind just getting lazy?
Of all the words I could have said.
"I love you" wasn't in my head....
And as the snow falls in the street,
I'll turn back time...just to see.
The words and lines I could say,
And see if you still walk away.
