Another day is ended

And I still can't sleep

Remembering my yesterdays

I begin to weep

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

I wish that I could turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to stop

Back to the days when life was so much better

Lying here in silence

Picture in my hand

Of a boy I still resemble

But I no longer understand

And as the tears run freely

How I realise they were the best years of my life

(Chorus)

You might say it's just

A case of giving up

No

But without these memories where is the love

Where is the love

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

Why can't I turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to a stop

Back to the days

Oh no no

I remember when

Life was so good

I'd go back id I could

Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away

I wouldn't change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away
