If I could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
I’d express all our unspoken love;
I’d have countless things to say.If I could bring you back again,
I’d say I treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than I ever knew.If I could bring you back again,To tell you what I should,You’d know how much I miss you now,And if I could, I would.
Friends for LIFE...
