One More Time
3LW Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sad goodbies, make me cry
Oh my
They all remind me of you
In the trees, autumn leaves
Birdies tweet when you look at me
They sing a song about you
Even the clouds could see it's over
And when the sun comes out tomorrow
Will I feel alright
Come back to me, dry my tears for me
Want you to hold me one more time
Take my only, be my only
Come back for me one more time
Teddy bears, rocking chairs
It's not fair for both of us not there
To share these treasures with me
Reflection shows that I'm alone
On my own waiting by the phone
But I know you won't call for me
Even the clouds could see it's over
They could feel my hurt inside
When the sun comes out tomorrow
Will I feel alright
Come back to me, dry my tears for me
Want you to hold me one more time
Take my only, be my only
Come back for me one more time
Even the clouds could see it's over
They can feel my hurt inside
When the sun comes out tomorrow
Will I feel alright
Come back to me, dry my tears for me
Want you to hold me one more time
Take my only, be my only
Come back for me one more time
Come back to me, dry my tears for me
Want you to hold me one more time
Take my only, be my only
Come back for me one more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time time time
Time
One more time
