lyrics

Well, I'm so lonesome, I could cry
And you know the reason why
It's because you went away and left me

It's been two long years or more
Since you walked out the door
And time just doesn't seem to change things

Well, I've tried everything I know
But I just can't control
These feelings that burn deep inside me

If I had one more chance again
And if we could be best friends
Then time would be so everlasting

And we could both be together once again
And forget about those things way back then
And we would be like a feather in the wind
And time would be our best friend

Now I've waited oh so long
For you to come back home
Please untie these chains that surround me

It's been such a long, long time
And I'm bout to lose my mind
Your love is my key to happiness

So I'm begging you right now
Please come home, I'll make a vow
My love will be never-ending

Oh yes, I promise to be true
Give my life and love to you
And I'll always do the things you want me to

And we could both be together once again
And forget about those things way back then
And we would be like a feather in the wind
And time would be our best friend
