V1: If I knew the last time
I said goodbye
Would be the last time

We'd speak, you and I,
I'd have said that I'll love you
Forever


V2: If I knew the last time
I held you tight

Would be the last time
We would say goodnight
I'd have held you in my arms

Forever

Chorus: But with these chances gone by

Don't think I'll even try
To remember how I loved you so
So very long ago


V3: If I knew the last time
I kissed your cheek

Would be the last time
We would ever meet
I'd have given thousands more

Forever

V4: If I knew the last time

I saw your smile
Would be the last time
I looked in your eyes

I'd have broken down and cried
Forever


Chorus: But with these chances gone by
Don't think I'll even try
To remember how I loved you so

So very long ago
