This world this world, ain't all roses no 
I realize everyday 
and the grass that stands between us 
can at times be less than green once 
it's been fertilized by some pain 
Oh I thought we'd beat it all 
so I never prepared myself to rebuild after the fall no 
I still don't understand - all that is or will be 
but the loss I feel is real because of what 
you meant to me 

If I had my way 
I woulda held you so much longer 
If I had my way 
I woulda never let you go 
If I had my way 
nothing in life will last forever 
so I'm really glad that I had the chance to know 
the wonders of you 

When I sit back and think about all the time we shared 
I know I'm one of the lucky ones cause I had you near 
Guess I'm just selfish 
cause instead of these memories 
I'm wishing that you would walk in and wake me from this dream 
Oh Winter won't be the same no more no 
Summer won't be the same for sure now 
Spring and Fall, Lord knows can't provide the cure 
but knowing that you're in a better place 
gives me strength to endure 

If I had my way 
I woulda held you so much longer 
If I had my way 
I woulda never let you go 
If I had my way 
nothing in life will last forever 
so I'm really glad that I had the chance to know 
the wonders of you 

Sure as life has ups and it's downs 
Angels can't be kept on the ground no 
so until the next time we meet 
I'll finish up the work down here that you left for me 

If I had my way 
I woulda held you so much longer 
If I had my way 
I woulda never let you go 
If I had my way 
nothing in life will last forever 
so I'm really glad that I had the chance to know 
the wonders of you 

The sky won't get no bluer 
Ooh those clouds can't stand 
They won't stand a chance again your 
sunny rays that you send me 
Like a beautiful song within me 
and I can sing it as true cause I know someone like you 

What did I do to know 
Someone like you 
Never forget all the 
Things we been through 
I fell down before and you 
helped me get through 
So I know that where you’re standing now you got a 
Wonderful view
