You crept into
My mind tonight
It had been so long
I don't know why
Your smile brought it all
Back to me
The life I miss
What could have been
The love to you
I should have shown
To raise you up
And let you know
That the world
Reflects
So deep in your eyes
That I was part of it
For awhile
You were always the one
When the day
Was over
When the race
Was run
Through the sunshine
Through the rain
In the laughter
In the pain
You were always the one

I've carried these chains
From so long ago
A chance at happiness
But I let it go
And the years go by
Far too soon
Tell me
What ever happened
To you
I still can't move on
Nor can I pretend
That you'll ever walk back
Into my life again

You were always the one
When the day
Was over when the race
Was run
Through the sunshine
Through the rain
In the laughter
In the pain
You were always the one
Not the moon
In the skies
Not the stars
In my eyes
I wish that time
Could change
And turn back
My mistake
