Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just today, I saw you smile
And it took me back to yesterday
You still move me like you did
When you read me with your eyes that way
Haven't seen you for a while
Father Time must be a friend of yours
You still take my breath away, do I really have to say
How much I want you?
[Chorus]
Just when I thought I was doin' alright
Sleepin' away almost half of the night, now who
Who was the last one I needed to see?
Just when I had most of my broken heart
Put back together to make a new start
Now I have to forget startin' over, I'm still not over you
[Verse 2]
I was calm as I could be
As the feelings all came back again
What I was supposed to do, treat you like a stranger or a friend? Mmm
I'm not wise in things of heart
Wise at heart
I'm not one of those who knows the moves
I was hangin' by a thread, hangin' on each word you said to hear I love you
Hangin' on each word you said to hear I love you
[Chorus]
Just when I thought I was doin' alright
Sleepin' away almost half of the night, now who
Who was the last one I needed to see?
Just when I had most of my broken heart
Put back together to make a new start
Now I have to forget startin' over, I'm still not over you
[Outro]
Just when I had most of my broken heart
Put back together to make a new start
Now I have to forget startin' over, I'm still not over you
Can't we start over? I'm still not over
Can't we start over? I'm still not over you
Over you
