lyrics

It was two in the morning,
as I drove home back to you.
It was cold, cold and lonely,
as I saw your life flash before my eyes.

And then I saw your face,
your beautiful eyes.
You gave me a kiss and then
said it’ll be all right, but no.

I wish I had the time,
to tell you don’t you cry.
I wish I had the time,
but I don’t, I don’t, I don’t.

I wish you could be there,
to see our baby grow.
I wish you could be there,
but the time has come now for you to go.

Now it’s too late,
to say how much I care.
‘cause life has fooled us,
life has played with us, oh why? Tell me.

I wish I had the time,
to tell you don’t you cry.
I wish I had the time,
but I don’t, I don’t, I don’t.

I wish you could be there,
to see our baby grow.
I wish you could be there,

but it’s getting cold,
I can’t see more,
they’re taking you away!

I wish I had the time,
to tell you don’t you cry.
I wish I had the time,
but I don’t, I don’t, I don’t.

I wish you could be there,
to see our baby grow.
I wish you could be there,

But is over now.

You gave me a kiss and then
said it’ll be alright,
but that crash took your life away,
and you ain’t coming back again.
