about

Simple love ballad

lyrics

I wish just once that I could tell you
what I never had the sense to say before
to look you in the eyes and say.... I love you
Nothing more...nothing more

I had my chance and I blew it
I had it all and threw it all away
I had so many lucky days but I never knew it
But I know today .. I know today .. I know today

'cos here I am again with my head held in my hands
watching my whole world walk away from me
because I didn't understand
Sometimes you just don't see what's standing right beside you
You get too close to focus on where you are
and by the time you find what's been going on behind you
its gone too far ... its gone too far

You were my spring, you were my summer
but I didn't see the leaves were turning brown
I never saw them falling all around me
they didn't make a sound, they didn't make a sound
they never made a sound

So here I am again with my head held in my hands
watching my whole world walk away from me because I didn't understand
sometimes you just don't see what's standing right beside you
and you get so close you can't focus on where you are
and by the time you find what's been going on behind you
its gone too far..its gone too far

So I wish just once that I could tell you
what I never had the sense to say before
to look you in the eyes and say I love you
Nothing more, no, nothing more.
