I was blind, I didn’t see what I’ve been doing
Even though I’ve always been so close, watching you
I could not take a look at the you who changed, so all I could do was turn away
For how long should I make believe that I can’t see?
The light that’s destined to be taken away.
So just for now, for this short time, I just want you
Please shine that light of your smile into my blind eyes
Cause the memories tell me
That if I do something, it won’t be too late
As I take both of my hands and push back all the sad memories of our past
To stop me, to face you, to convince you to stay with me once more
All of our memories are still clear in my mind
The scenes that I know are just the loving ones.
At the time, I just didn’t understand you as well as I could, so I lost your grip.
For how long should I make believe that I can’t see
The light that one day, long ago had been lost
So just for now, I won’t keep my hopes up too high
One last time, please shine the light of your smile down on me.
Cause the memories tell me
That if I do something, it won’t be too late
The answer’s buried in our memories, and
Now I finally realize just what it all meant
One more time, I’ll convince you to stay here in my arms
I know that the stars will guide me
Or maybe this is just a trick of the heavens
I really don’t care, whatever this thing is
‘Cause this last chance that I’ve gotten won’t come twice
Cause the memories tell me
That if I do something, it won’t be too late
The answer’s buried in our memories, and
Now I finally realize just what it all meant
One more time, I’ll convince you to stay here in my arms
Even for a short time, I just want to feel the warmth of your smile that will shine down on me
Cause the memories tell me
That if I do something, it won’t be too late
As I take both of my hands and push back all the sad memories of our past
To stop me, to face you, to convince you to stay with me once more
Cause the memories tell me
That if I do something, it won’t be too late
The answer’s buried in our memories
Now I finally realize just what it all meant
One more time, I’ll go out and I’ll ask for your true love.
