Just One Time 
If I could see you just one time 
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
 
And then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so t
Hey now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine 
Wish I could see you just one time

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh how I miss you so 
Oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine 
Wish I could relive just one time
 
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

[Chorus]
