This Time

As I ride the waves of this emotion

I'm just not sure where my life’s goin’

Yet I feel the winds of change swiftly blowin’

And something deep inside that yearns to open

We set out on the journey and then walked apart

But I’ve always carried you here inside my heart

‘Cause once you really love someone it never fades away

And I’m still searchin’ for the one I know is gonna stay

Lookin’ back on all the years that have gone by

Since that moment I first met your eyes

Lessons learned and visions burned as illusions were shattered

Rising from the ashes to discover what truly matters

I just had to let you go for you to come back into my life

That's just the way it works no matter how I tried to make it right

If there was a way to start anew

I would love to spend my days with you

Now you stand before me once again

Like a part of me, like family, like a long lost friend

Yet it’s strange how much has changed though some things still remain

Like bein’ close to you and feelin’ this undying flame

As I wonder how I ever let you go

The voice of wisdom speaks what I already know

Like two young vines enraptured but too tightly intertwined

Constricting one another’s growth and expression to fully shine

I just had to let you go for you to come back into my life

That's just the way it works no matter how I tried to make it right

If there was a way to start anew

I would love to spend my days with you

Thinkin’ how wonderful it all could be

My heart just sees endless possibility

Then there is the question if it ever could work out

And in the shadows of my mind I’ve surely got my doubts

So it’s time for you to go your way

As memories flood my mind for many a day

While our paths are sure to cross again

No matter what you know I’ll always be your friend

Down deep in my heart I always want what’s best for you

Isn’t that what true love is when we both feel that way too

I just had to let you go for you to come back into my life

That’s just the way it works no matter how I tried to make things right

If there was a way to make it true

I would love to give it all to you

I just had to let you go for you to come back into my life

That’s just the way it works no matter how I tried to make things right

If there was a way to see it through

I would love to bring it home to you

If we are in tune

I would love to share my life with you

If there is a way

I would love to spend my days with you

But would it be real with you

Would it be real with you

This time

Would it be real with you

This time
