Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can still remember
The magic I saw in your eyes
So honest and so tender
True love with no compromise
All these things I miss
When I reminisce
About you, baby
[Chorus]
Why can't we go back in time?
When I was yours and you were mine
Love this special's meant to be
Eternally our love is one for all time
[PostChorus]
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Time
Mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
How is it that I see you
In every strangers face?
I don't wanna need you
But my stubborn heart keeps going
And I just can't erase
All these things I miss
When I reminisce
About you, boy
Bet you didn't know
How much I love ya
Want me to show you, baby?
[Chorus]
Why can't we go back in time?
When I was yours and you were mine
Love this special's meant to be
Eternally our love is one for all time
[Bridge]
I'd love to hear your conversation
Intelligent debating (Oh, yeah)
Baby, that would move me
The way you make me feel so special
How could you forget that?
You were made for me
You were made for me
[Chorus]
Why can't we go back in time?
When I was yours and you were mine
Love this special's meant to be
Eternally our love is one for all time
[Outro]
Why can't we go back in time?
When I was yours and you were mine
Love this special's meant to be
Eternally our love, oh, did you know this love
Mm, our love, oh, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
Greatest love of all time
Love will be
