Song Lyrics

Once before I go, I want you to know that I would do it all again
I'm sure I'd make the same mistakes
That I could make it through the pains and joys and aches
I knew back then I would do it all, I'd do it all again

Before I go, I want you to know that I look back with no regrets
And when our luck was wearing thin and we were down and out
And still came back to win against all bets
Now when I look back I still have no regrets

And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again, I'm afraid I'll never soar
So hang on to the memories and hold me close once more

Once more, just once before I go, I want you to know
That I have loved you all along and even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart and I'll be strong
I'll love you just the way I've loved you all along

And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again I'm afraid I'll never soar
So kiss me for the last time and hold me close once more

Once more, just once before I go
I want you to know that I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart and I'll be strong

You are the light that shines on me
You always were and you'll always be
So I had to let you know, just this once
Just this once before I go
