[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 better the taste where 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 better the taste where 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
Oh, but things would always change
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh oh
