Once Before I Go

Once before I go, I want you to know
 That I would do it all again
 I'm sure we'd make the same mistakes
 But we would make it through
 The pains and joys and aches we knew back then
 I would do it all, I'd do it all again
 Before I go, I want you to know
 That I look back with no regrets
 And when our luck was wearing thin
 And we were down and out
 We still came back to win against all bets
 Now when I look back, I still have no regrets
 And it's so hard to say goodbye
 When there's so much that's left unspoken in your eyes
 But unless I spread my wings again
 I'm afraid I'll never soar
 So, hang onto the memories
 And hold me close once more
 Once more
 Just once before I go, I want you to know
 That I have loved you all along
 And even when we're far apart
 I only need to feel you're living in my heart, and I'll be strong
 I love you just the way I've loved you all along
 And it's so hard to say goodbyes
 When there's so much that's left unspoken in your eyes
 But unless I spread my wings again
 I'm afraid I'll never soar
 So kiss me for the last time
 And hold me close once more
 Once more
 Just once before I go, I want you to know
 That I have loved you all along
 Even when we're far apart
 I only need to feel you're in my heart
 And I'll be strong
 You are the light that shines on me
 You always were, and you'll always be
 So, I had to let you know, just this once
 Just this once before I go
