So many years gone
Still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never
Gave enough to me

And so many years gone
Love that was so wrong
And I can't forget the way
It used to be
And how you changed the touch
Of love for me

[CHORUS:]
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me
For you

And we'll have no ending
If we can hold on
And I think I've gone this far
Because of you
Could be no other love but ours
Will do

(repeat chorus)

No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best of me for you
