This time we said way too much
This times for all time
How about this time
This time there'll be no goodnite kiss
This time is forever
This time I find that I'm
My heart is broken now
It really doesn't matter anyhow
Now that you're going away
I only live from day to day
This time there'll be no good nite kiss
This time is forever
This time I find that I'm
Really losing you
