I Wouldn't Have Missed It for the World
Ronnie Milsap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I'm glad for all the good times
Cause you've brought me so much sunshine
And love was the best it's ever been

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while
With your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

They say that all good things must end
Loves comes and goes just like the wind
You've got your dreams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know I'd do it all again

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You've made my whole life worth while
With your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Oh, I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You've made my whole life worth while




With your smile
Oh, I wouldn't trade one memory

I lost my wife three months ago today. This song shreds my heart into a thousand pieces: my heart will never mend, love was the best it's ever been.

@bacchuslax7967

Don’t have a word except someone is praying for you brother. Maybe a thought, if your love wasn’t genuine this song wouldn’t hit its marks.

Lost mine 15 years ago. Have never mended. Striving to move on. Or so that's what they say.
