Like Starting Over Again

Verse 1:

From the day we departed, I felt a deep dread,
Trying to carve a new life, trying to make new friends;
But each night I slept alone, with no one at my side,
And each day I walked alone, with damaged pride.

I had no choice but to move on, losing touch with you,
There was a void in my life, but what else is a man supposed to do?
There were other women in my life, but none that were true,
Empty affairs are just that, Lord, how I missed you!

Chorus:

What we could accomplish, if we could try one more time,
If the clock could rewind, you would be all mine;
No more lonely days, and sleepless nights,
Our passion reaching such new heights!
If we could find it in our hearts to mend,
It would like starting over again.

Verse 2:

Like some silly fantasy, like some unreal dream,
You were in my sight again, akin to an angelic theme;
At first it was ignoring, then some small glance,
My heart skipped beats, thinking we might again have a chance.

"Hellos" turned to small talk, then a little more,
I vowed not to make the mistakes I made before;
A kiss on the cheek, and a small embrace,
That emptiness is finally a filled-in space.

Repeat Chorus:

What we could accomplish, if we could try one more time,
If the clock could rewind, you would be all mine;
No more lonely days, and sleepless nights,
Our passion reaching such new heights!
If we could find it in our hearts to mend,
It would like starting over again.
