Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder With an aching deep in my heart I wish that we were starting over Oh instead of drifting so far apart Everybody told me you were leaving Funny I should be the last to know Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming I just never want to let you go Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye Turning my heart over and over I never wanted to say goodbye I don't mind everybody laughing But it's enough to make a grown man cry 'Cause I can feel you slipping through my fingers I don't even know the reason why Every day it's a losing battle Just to smile and hold my head up high Could it be that we belong together Baby won't you give me one more try One more try Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder Oh with an aching feeling inside Cutting me up, deeper and deeper Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed no no it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye
