All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted

I wish I'd never seen this day

And darker clouds had blown away

To clear the sky, for the sun to shine

I pray that memories fade away

And some new morning I'll breathe the light of day

Then she will know, the price we paid and we paid

All I ever wanted

Was to turn back time

And wipe the tears from my eyes

They've been there a long time

I'm locked down, a heart that's screaming

No love, I'm only dreaming

When you smile

I see shadows on the ceiling

When once, a kiss was all

No more within these walls

And so, your distant love still calls

All I ever wanted

Was to turn back time

And wipe the tears from my eyes

They've been there a long time

With all the hope that slips away

A shining star will come our way

Take it back, turn it back, take it back

All I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

Was holding hands on drifting sands

And walking while the sun was falling

And all the words

I never heard

They only cried that love was calling

Way down within your mind

You left our life behind

A place where passion

Leaves a grown man blind

So take away my heart

We wont survive apart

For this is the day

For young love and young hearts
