if love was that way lyrics

Oh, there was once a time so long ago
When we shared our lives, our hopes
I thought that we belonged and if that is true
How can I go on without you?

And I'm never gonna love that way
Not like I did with you
Time was mine but doesn't hide my heart
Life just goes on without meaning when we're apart

And I'm never gonna love that way
Nothing but memories live inside and never die
They last forever in my heart I know
If love was that way it will always be
(It will always be)

And I often hear you laugh
Through my tears as I'm looking back at us
You touched me in a place deep in my soul
Time cannot erase the dreams I hoped

And I'm never gonna love that way
Not like I did with you
Time was mine but doesn't hide my heart
Life just goes on without meaning when we're apart

And I'm never gonna love that way
Nothing but memories live inside and never die
They last forever in my heart I know
If love was that way it will always be that way

And I have been there waiting just for you
Doesn't matter how much time it takes
'Cause my love is always true

And I'm never gonna love that way
Nothing but memories live inside and never die
They last forever in my heart I know
If love was that way it will always be that way
