Take me back, To the day, When you said "I LOVE YOU" When you held my hand, And I suppressed the tears weld up In my eyes... Take me back to the moment, When you held my heart in your hands... My pride smiled, When you cried... I layed my head on your shoulder, I was thinking something only you would know... I whispered "Kiss Me" And with our last smooch, I didn't want to let go... You cried and I tried to comfort your pain, when I Lifed your head, I seen the tears in your eyes... My pride was washed to the side, I didn't want to go, But I had to leave... Take me back to the day, When I couldn't breathe- When you said, You Love Me...
