This once was a forever in time,   But it seemed to slip my watch   And I'll sit waiting for the next car to roll by,   But it's not you   And I'll sit waiting for the next car to drive by,   But it's not you   And I will wait forever if I have to     Put your hand in my hand,   And promise you'll stay forever   This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever   Fill this void in my life,   And promise you'll stay forever   Put your hand in my hand     This will be the last of my letters,   Until I get a reply   And I'll stare at the walls,   Until you cannot see the whites of my eyes   This will be the last of my letters,   Until I get a reply   And I'll sit waiting for the rest of my life,   The rest of my life     Put your hand in my hand,   And promise you'll stay forever   This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever   Fill this void in my life,   And promise you'll stay forever   Put your hand in my hand     This could be   The last words that I ever say to you,   And I want you to know   That I would not trade it for anything in this world   This could be   The last words that I ever say to you,   And I want you to know   That I would not trade it,   I would not trade it     Put your hand in my hand,   And promise you'll stay forever   This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever   Fill this void in my life,   And promise you'll stay forever   Put your hand in my hand
