Once Before I Go

(アルバム： Not The Boy Next Door - 1983)

Once before I go
I want you to know
That I would do it all again
I'm sure we'd make the same mistakes
But we could make it through
The pains and joys and aches
We knew back then
I would do it all
I'd do it all again

Before I go
I want you to know
That I look back with no regrets
And when our luck was wearing thin
And we were down and out
We still came back to win against all bets
Now when I look back
I still have no regrets

And it's so hard to say goodbyes
When there's so much
That's left unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So, hang onto these memories
And hold me close once more

Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart
And I'll be strong
Love you just the way
I've loved you all along

And it's so hard to say goodbyes
When there's so much
That's left unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So, kiss me for the last time
And hold me close once more

Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
Even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're in my heart
And I'll be strong

You are the light
That shines on me
You always were
And you'll always be
So, I had to let you know
Just this once
Just this once
Before I go
