30th of April, seems like yesterday

We bought a house above the ocean

Where our kids could laugh and play

I called you from Paris

To tell you that I wrote our names on the observation deck

Of the Eiffel Tower

Remember those nights

Playing Summer wind on the jukebox of the bar we used to go

We made out in the bathroom and you walked me to my house

I tried to convince you not to go home

If only I had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go

Italy isn't the same without you here

If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes

That I could spend with you

Fall in love with you again and again

1st of November, 1998

I was thinking of what to say when I would call

Denise come over to my house, 'cause you're the one for me

We'll drink cheap wine and watch for shooting stars

Remember our first apartment?

Our couch was never big enough for two

Still, we'd fall asleep in eachother's arms and wake up on the floor

Now looking back it was made for me and you

If only I had more time

I'd take you where you wanted to go

(Where you want to go)

Japan is really nice this time of year

If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes

That I could spend with you

Fall in love with you again and again

If only I had more time

England isn't the same without you here (you're here)

If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes

That I could spend with you

Fall in love with you again and again
