Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once before I go
I want you to know
That I would do it all again
And should we make the same mistakes
But we make it through the pains and joys and aches
We knew back then
[Verse 2]
I would do it all
I'd do it all again
[Verse 3]
Before I go
I want you to know
That I look back with no regrets
And when our luck was wearing thin
And when we were down and out and still
Came back to win
Against all that
[Verse 4]
Now when I look back
I still have no regrets
[Verse 5]
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 on to the memories
And hold me close once more
Once more
[Verse 6]
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 your living in my heart
And I'll be strong
I would love you just the way
I've loved you all along
[Verse 7]
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 kiss me for the last time
And hold me close once more
Once more
[Verse 8]
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 your living in my heart
And I'll be strong
[Verse 9]
You are the light that shines on me
You always were and you'll always be
So I have to let you know
Just this once
Just this once
Before I go
