 4/4


You held my hand

I was your man

I know that I

Was wrong to lie

If i could go back in time

Back when you were mine

I could hold tight

And be with you

I should have been true

I should have been blue

I shouldn't wonder why your gone

I should have know that I was wrong

Your eyes, your lips

Your touch, I'll miss

The night, so long

Since you, bin gone

If i could go back in time

Back when you were mine

I could hold tight

And be with you

I should have been true

I should have been blue

I shouldn't wonder why your gone

I should have know that I was wrong

 

If i could go back in time

Back when you were mine

I could hold tight

And be with you

I should have been true

I should have been blue

I shouldn't wonder why your gone

I should have know that I was wrong

I should have been true

I should have been blue

I shouldn't wonder why your gone

I should have know that I was wrong
