Lyrics by Joe Lawton
Written: December 2000

Music style: Slow / Soft Rock

Verse 1

You left me long ago one day,
But you still come back at night.
Visions of holding you close once again
Holding you tight

I just want to hold you close to me
To smell your sweet soft hair
As we dance to a rhythm
We left behind so long ago

Chorus
To see your lovely smile
To miss your gentle touch
To want to you to be right by my side
Just makes me want you more each night

(But) Now we’ve gone our own different ways,
And we might never meet again.
But there isn’t a night that goes by,
Without seeing you right here by my side.

Even though I’m over you now,
There’s still a part of my heart
That will always hold the memories
Always hold my first true love.

Verse 2

Remember back when we would slow dance?
Holding each other so tight.
No worries no fears just us
Dancing throughout the night.

It happened so suddenly
You wanted to go another way
I couldn’t stop you
I loved you
And wanted you to be happy

[Repeat chorus]

Just once, I’d love to see you again
Even if only for a short while
Just to say, “Hi, how are you?”
Maybe to just see you smile

[Instrumental solo]

[Repeat chorus and fade]
