Last night while we were talking the way that old friends do   I suddenly got lost in my yesterdays with you   I told you that in my heart you would always be the one   That I'd lie waking in the dark, pray that you will come      But I didn't mean to say that   Somehow it just slipped out   I swear that I would take it back   If I could right now   All I ask is you believe   I'd forgotten where I was   With you there so close to me   I thought that we were still in love      Oh I knew just what I'd done when you stood up so fast   And say the friends that we'd become can't hold on to the past   You said it's been a long long time since love came to an end   If I hadn't learned to draw the line, it's useless to pretend      But I didn't mean to say that   Somehow it just slipped out   I swear that I would take it back   If I could right now   All I ask is you believe   I'd forgotten where I was   With you there so close to me   I thought that we were still in love      I don't think I could take goodbye, that much is still the truth   Won't you forgive me just for one night, it's what a friend would do      'Coz I didn't mean to say that   Somehow it just slipped out   I swear that I would take it back   If I could right now   All I ask is you believe   I'd forgotten where I was   With you there so close to me   I thought that we were still in love      Still in love   I thought that we were still in love
