It’s been two years but if I could have a lifetime wish A dream that would come true I’d pray to God with all my heart For yesterday and you A thousand words can’t bring you back I know because I’ve tried Neither will a thousand tears I know because I’ve cried You left behind a broken heart And happy memories too But I never wanted memories I only wanted you
