Lyrics
You're the one I can't forget from half a life ago
You're the memory I still see when lights are turned down low
I know my heart won't let it rest
you were the first, the last, the best
I didn't know that I'd been blessesd
Half a life ago
(CHORUS)
Half a life ago is such a long time
Yet it only seems like yesterday
But half a life ago was just the wrong time
For commitments that I'd love to keep today
I'll never get a second chance at happiness I know
Beause you found another love half a life ago
I see you in old photographs from half a life ago
I see your face in every crowd no matter where i go
I image of you haunts me still
And I guess it always will
'Cause you're the one I can't forget
From half a life ago
