If I could put my life on paper, the words wouldn't need to rhyme
I'd change the tears I cried to laughter, if only I'd have the time
I'd tell a sad-faced grey-haired lady, the words it's too late to say
If I could put my life on paper, if only I knew the way
If I could live my life all over
If I could live my life all over

Julie would still be mine
I was a fool too proud to love her
How could I be so blind
To live a life just for the taking
I should have known before
I won the battles for the making
Only to lose the war
And life goes on, life goes on
For me there's no return
What's done is done, those days are gone
When life is young, you're never wrong
It takes so long
To learn
To live a life just for the taking
I should have known before
I won the battles for the making
Only to lose the war
Only to lose the war
