When You Loved Me

There was a time when you loved me
You stood right by my side
Even though we weren't together
You listened to my cries

The late night calls I made to you
You listened to what I said
You held on to every moment
Even when my words misled

I gave you every reason
To believe we'd be together
I confessed to the mistakes I made
And promised you forever

You would give an inch
And let me take a mile
No matter how I hurt you
You always made me smile

You let me abuse your heart
I walked away each time
So I could go on searching
For a love I would not find

While all along I had it
It was right before my eyes
What I would give today
To reverse the hands of time

The past is so alive tonight
My destiny so clear
But now when I reach out to you
You are no longer here

I can't say that I blame you
You have surely given up
While I sit here longing for you
And missing you so much

Can you find it in your heart
To let me in again
I won't walk away from you
My love will never end

My love is everlasting
From now til eternity
Please don't turn away
For I need you here with me

Let me prove my love to you
Give me one last chance
You hold our future in your hands
It's our last shot for romance

I will mend every heartache
I will kiss away your tears
I will fill you up with happiness
I will love you more each year

I need you to be there
More now than ever
You hold my heart in your hands
We belong together

Let me warm you up
With the love that will not die
Give me the key to your heart
Let me come inside

I promise I won't hurt you
The way I did before
Let me make it up to you
Please open up the door

You will never find a love
Like you and I once knew
Because every dream I have
Leads me right back here with you
