Whenever I look back On the best days of my life I think I saw them all on T.V. I am so homesick now for Someone that I never knew I am so homesick for Someplace I will never be Time won't let me go Time won't let me go If I could do it all again I'd go back and change everything But time won't let me go I never had a 'Summer of 69' Never had a Cherry Valance of my own All these precious moments You promised me would come in time So where was I when I missed mine? Time won't let me go Time won't let me go If you gave me back those years I'd do it all better I swear Time won't let me go Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... If I could go back once again I would change everything, yeah If I could go back once again I'd do it all so much better Time won't let me go Time won't let me go If I could do it all again I'd go back and change everything But you won't ever let me go Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba...
