Like an old abandoned ferris wheel

Time for me is standing still

It's you and me in mid-July

Underneath the midway lights

And all our friends are standing there

So I was acting like I didn't care

When you put your arms around my neck

And I barely even kissed you back



But if I'd known it was the last time

I'd held on a little longer

And let that moment linger

And never let your fingers

Slip away from mine

If I'd known there'd never be another day

I'd watched you as you walked away

Kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight

If I

If I'd known it was the last time



Now the midway lights have all shut down

And grass has grown up all around

It's an empty field across the tracks

But I can't keep from coming back

It was just another summer night

Carousel roller coaster ride

And that silly fight that we got in

Didn't seem so important then



But if I'd known it was the last time

I'd held on a little longer

And let that moment linger

And never let your fingers

Slip away from mine

If I'd known there'd never be another day

I'd watched you as you walked away

Kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight

If I

If I'd known it was the last time



If I'd known then what I know now

I'd never let you disappear into the crowd

Or turn away the way I did

With so much left unsaid

If I

If I'd known it was the last time
