Guess I had my chance

My one shot at true romance

Only a fool would let it slip through his hands

So take it from the one

Who dreams about the way things were

If I were you I'd hold on to her



I've known her long enough

I've seen her eyes when she's in love

And I can tell that you're all that she's thinkin' of

So take it from the one

Who dreams about the way things were

If I were you I'd hold onto her



Now she's just beautiful words

On a page I have turned

And I'm longing to hold her

And tryin' to get over a bridge that I shouln't have burned

If I were you I'd hold onto her



So just treat her right

Keep her safe and warm at night

Give her your love and you'll have the love of your life

Just take it from the one

Who dreams about the way things were

If I were you I'd hold on to her

If I were you I'd hold on
