Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
May not get back what we have, What I threw away. But you know I will do anything, Anything you say. Across a thousand miles of broken glass, On my hands and knees. I would crawl if for a moment, We could seize hostility. But it seemed like such a good idea at the time; Such a very, very good idea at the time. I don't know where I am, Don't know where I went wrong. Over the wedding stone, again I don't know where I am, Don't know where I went wrong. Over the wedding stone, again Never between it's over, But lately I have found, That you only seem to come alive, When I' am not around. But it seemed like such a good idea at the time; Such a very, very good idea at the time. I don't know where I am, Don't know where I went wrong. Over the wedding stone, again Well it seemed like such a good idea at the time; Such a very, very good idea at the time. I don't know where I am, Don't know where I went wrong. Over the wedding stone, again I don't know where I am, Don't know where I went wrong. Over the wedding stone
