align="center">WELL..IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME....DARLING
FUNNY HOW THE TIME COMES AND GOES
YOU LEFT ME WHEN THE SNOW WAS FALLING
BEFORE I SAW THE SPRINGTIME ROSE

THE NEXT TIME I WILL SEE YOU..
PERHAPS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
HOW MUCH THAT YOU HAVE MEANT TO ME
WHEN WE ONCE WALKED HAND IN HAND

PRECIOUS TIMES I'VE SPENT WITH YOU
MEMORIES WITHIN MY HEART
TODAY YOU CALLED ME ONCE AGAIN
WANTING A BRAND NEW START

WELL, WITH ALL THE THINGS WE'VE GONE THROUGH
ALL THE PRAYERS I'VE SAID TO GOD ABOVE...
IF YOU COME BACK TO ME NOW, BABY
THE NEXT STEP WE TAKE IS LOVE...

YOU'VE HAD A HARD TIME SAYING
THE WORDS THAT I'VE LONGED TO HEAR
AND YOU'VE LET TIME SLIP AWAY FROM YOU
AND THE DAYS HAVE NOW TURNED INTO YEARS

BUT YOU'VE REALLY NEVER GONE AWAY
YOU WERE IN MY HEART DESPITE THE PAIN
SO I GUESS WE CAN TAKE ANOTHER CHANCE
AT MAKING SOME SUN FROM THE RAIN

PRECIOUS TIMES I'VE SPENT WITH YOU
MEMORIES WITHIN MY HEART
TODAY YOU CALLED ME ONCE AGAIN
WANTING A BRAND NEW START

WELL, WITH ALL THE THINGS WE'VE GONE THROUGH
ALL THE PRAYERS SAID TO GOD ABOVE
IF YOU COME BACK TO ME NOW, BABY
THE NEXT STEP WE TAKE IS LOVE
