[Verse 1]
Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around, tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked?

[Chorus]
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be

[Verse 2]
The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself awhile

[Chorus]
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago

[Bridge]
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
And you could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart?
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best

[Chorus]
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

[Outro]
And if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
