Just one more chance with you, darling
Just one more chance
She wrote me her letters, she no longer cared
But the tears upon the paper said she lied, she lied
If only I'd listened, if only I'd tried
Then this house would still have been a home
Oh, tell me why it took us all so long to realize
Oh why? It's oh so obvious
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
If I could be with you and hold back my pride
And this love we'll make it bind
We'll look to the future, remembering the past
We'll never lose our way again
Oh, tell me why it took us all so long to realize
Oh why? It's oh so obvious
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
Just one more chance with you, darling
How can I survive without a reason to go on?
My baby's not here to love me
How can I forget without a reason to go on?
My baby's not here to love me
Ooh why? Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Just one more chance with you, darling
Just one more chance yeah
Just one more chance with you, darling
Just one more chance, yeah
Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Just one more chance, baby
Just one more chance, yeah
Just one more chance
She wrote me her letters, she no longer cared
But the tears upon the paper said she lied, she lied
If only I'd listened, if only I'd tried
Then this house would still have been a home
Oh, tell me why it took us all so long to realize
Oh why? It's oh so obvious
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
If I could be with you and hold back my pride
And this love we'll make it bind
We'll look to the future, remembering the past
We'll never lose our way again
Oh, tell me why it took us all so long to realize
Oh why? It's oh so obvious
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
She never stopped to say goodbye, no
Never did say goodbye
Just one more chance with you, darling
How can I survive without a reason to go on?
My baby's not here to love me
How can I forget without a reason to go on?
My baby's not here to love me
Ooh why? Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Just one more chance with you, darling
Just one more chance yeah
Just one more chance with you, darling
Just one more chance, yeah
Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Never did say goodbye
Never turned and said a reason why
Just one more chance, baby
Just one more chance, yeah
