Guess I had my chance
My one shot at true romance
Only a fool would let it slip through his handsSo take it from the one
Who dreams about the way things were
If I were you I'd hold on to herI've known her long enough
I've seen her eyes when she's in love
And I can tell that you're all that she's thinkin' ofSo take it from the one
Who dreams about the way things were
If I were you I'd hold onto herNow she's just beautiful words
On a page I have turned
And I'm longing to hold her
And tryin' to get over a bridge
That I shouldn't have burnedIf I were you I'd hold onto herSo just treat her right
Keep her safe and warm at night
Give her your love and you'll have the love of your lifeJust take it from the one
Who dreams about the way things were
If I were you I'd hold on to herIf I were you I'd hold on
