I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm living
But now that I've come to see the light
All that I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me, we're gonna be
Better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Lookin' back now, it seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh, you gave it all
And I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
A flicker of love may still shine through
Well, let's talk it out
Let's talk about our second chances

Wait and see, it's gonna be
Sweeter than it was before
We gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Let me hold you to my heart
Let me say that you're a part of me
And you always will be
I promise you see
There's no one else but you
So won't you say you want me too

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Oh, I'm never gonna let you go
(Never gonna let you go)
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
(Hold you in my arms forever)
Gonna try and make up
For the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
(Hold your body close to mine)
From this day on we're gonna be together
(You know we're gonna be together)
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Oh, I'm never gonna let you go
(Never gonna let you go)
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
(Hold you in my arms forever)
Gonna try and make up
For the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
(Hold your body close to mine)
From this day on we're gonna be together
(You know we're gonna be together)
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go...
