The years have gone by like a whisper in the wind
I've seen it all from beginning to the end
Never to know your heart, your love

My soul longs to sing

And all this time I was closer, but just a step away

And through the years, I've done it my own way
Never to know your soul, your love
My soul longs to sing


[Chorus:]
And baby there's no going back the past is gone

And I know that all that's right, has gone wrong
And I can't ask you for one more day
No I can't ask for another chance to say

I love, I adore you
No I can't ask for another chance to say
I love you, I adore you


Ah, the times are changing, like winter into spring
I've seen it all from beginning to the end

Never to know your dreams, your hopes
My soul longs to sing


[Refrain:]
And all this time I was a moment away
And all this time I thought it was okay

To say the right words at a distance
To love you from afar
To love only in my heart, to love you only in my heart


[Chorus]
And baby there's no going back the past is gone

And I know that all that's right, has gone wrong
And I can't ask you for one more day
No I can't ask for another chance to say

I love, I adore you
No I can't ask for another chance to say
I love you, I adore you
