Oh how I wish we had a second chance
Insecurity is the wall I hide behind
So that we could change our circumstance
Put some happier words to this tune
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
Our decisions become universal
The knowledge we have now is what we already knew
Baby, you just left too soon
To let it fall would hurt your pride and mine
How could I show my face beyond this room
Guilt is the cancer of my intellect
The act of love is soon neglected
And lays dying in the strength of its cocoon
Baby, you just left too soon
Chorus
I see myself in younger days
You left too soon to know the wonder that your life would be
The prophecy of God's will come alive
You left too soon to know the thousand things that make your life unique
The harmony that heart and beat combine
You left too soon to know that you were mine
Counting the stars and mapping the ways
My life and love would be
Watching for curves and misdirection
I put my faith in love's perfection
But there's no future in a past that wasn't meant to be…baby
Chorus
