Before you go, walk out on me,
Take a look around tell me what you see,
Here I stand, like an open book,
Is there something here you might have overlooked,
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave,
And find that freedom ain't what you thought, it would be

The years we had, were not all bad,
In fact, I know the good outweighed the bad,
Now you say, that you've grown tired,
An you want to be, by yourself a while,
It would be a shame if you should go,
And find that freedom was a long time ago,

I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
You could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough,
To get away from your heart

(Instrumental)

So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest,
Please don't throw, this moment away,
We can forget the bad and take the best,
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
