I can remember when I held her
In the palm of my hand
She was a sweet young comer
I was a lucky man
But that was a long time ago
Since then my luck has run down
She's gone now but if somehow
She came back around
CHORUS
I'd be doin' it all again
Movin' through the motions one more time
Turn the lights out on my pride
All the time without her would be spent
Movin' through the motions
One more time, one more time
Oh how the wind will blow
Through these empty rooms tonight
There will be no sound
There will be no light
And I will have all the time
In the world to think of her
She's gone now but if somehow
She were to return
CHORUS
She was so tender
She told me she wanted
To spend her life with me
Boy you sure get compromised
Love can cut you down to size
You'd think by now I might be wise
You'd think by now I might think twice
CHORUS
