2200
I'd like to go back to the days
When we would make each
other smile in different ways.
When I would embrace the warmth
Of your hugs like soaking up sun rays.
It was then I realized through my real eyes
Your face was lit up with God's grace.
No doubt you had me on the chase,
But I didn't mind being in second place,
As long as you were first and we both
planned on finishing the race.
I'd like to go back to the times
When we kept each other in line
By asking questions that was on the mind.
When we kept it real
by telling each other
how we truly feel.
When we would constantly stay in touch,
But it seems we both lost our touch.
Now the relationship is switching
gears without proper use of the clutch.
I'll take the blame
cuz all fingers are pointing at
me and I know you feel the same.
So many times during the night
I think of your name
hoping we will never
extinguish the flame.
I'd like to go back to the days
When your smile left me amazed.
Filling my heart with God's love as I gazed
Deep into the heart of a woman that led me
With wise words that pressed in
through the thickness of my skin.
Until i would grab your hand
with the understanding you were
pulling me out of the quicksand.
I'd like to go back to the days
When you would make me smile for days.
I'd like to go back to those days
