Looking Back
Please tell me I can close my eyes
And just live in yesterday
When the tears falling from our eyes
Would have fallen then in vain
Tell me I can turn back time
Before everything went wrong
And lose myself in the laughter
That rang out like a song
Tell me I can look again
At the smile I brought to you
As you listened to my words of praise
For the precious things you do
Tell me I can get lost again
In the poems that I have read
And memorize them word for word
So they dance then in my head
Tell me I can erase the pain
We've known since that sorrowed end
Instead of closing my eyes for yesterday
Within dreams of my sweet friend

And just live in yesterday
When the tears falling from our eyes
Would have fallen then in vain
Tell me I can turn back time
Before everything went wrong
And lose myself in the laughter
That rang out like a song
Tell me I can look again
At the smile I brought to you
As you listened to my words of praise
For the precious things you do
Tell me I can get lost again
In the poems that I have read
And memorize them word for word
So they dance then in my head
Tell me I can erase the pain
We've known since that sorrowed end
Instead of closing my eyes for yesterday
Within dreams of my sweet friend
