Lyrics
Holding back the tears, waiting for the moment,
When the sum of all our years becomes too much for me to bear,
I try not to think, of all the holidays and birthdays,
Your smile always waiting for that special look from me.
We tried so hard, we did it all
We played our parts, we talked so well
We treated love so decently
But now we find, that it wasn't enough
I want to show you I care
I want to tell you I miss you
I want just one more day, please
But no matter what I say (3x)
It just isn't enough
I can take some blame, for pushing you the first time,
Your eyes betrayed your caution as you welcomed my embrace,
I tried not to be the one who does the waiting,
Waiting for a chance to tell you how good it could be.
We tried so hard, we did it all ...
I want to tell you I care ...
There's so many things, we never took the time for,
But those old responsibilities kept tearing me away,
I tried to help you see, everything I felt you could be,
Waiting for that moment when your heart would turn to me.
We tried so hard ...
I want to show you I care ...
