anytime
Black Diamonds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
All those moments we shared
When I thought it's forever that way

If only I had, had one more chance to say
How thankful I am
And that I miss you day after day
You used to say, keep your head high boy
Whatever will be will be anyway
There's sun after rain, even if I'm gone one day
I promise we'll meet again anywhere, anytime

Ain't it absurd, that we don't take the time
For whatever means most
means most in our lives

Suddenly you're gone, and there's a hole inside
And I bitterly regret
I didn't realize how fast time flies

You used to say, keep your head high boy
Whatever will be will be anyway
There's sun after rain, even if I'm gone one day
I promise we'll meet again anywhere, anytime

It's hard to look back, it's hard to accept
Had my priorities somewhere else
Now it's hard to go on, it's hard to stay strong
Without you

You used to say, keep your head high boy
Whatever will be will be anyway




There's sun after rain, even if I'm gone one day
I promise we'll meet again anywhere, anytime
