Comment for any corrections and please rate
Intro: A  
It's been Aalmost a year since that beautiful weekend, it was more thAan a lifetime ago
How it hAappens to mind after all of this time and brings tAears to my eyes, I don't know
It's the thDought of you and the way it can hAurt to be so much in love
The thDought of you brings it all my wAay
I knAow that it's late, I'm sorry I called, I'm surprAised to have found you at home
It's just Aonce in a while I remember your number, I was hAoping that you'd be alone
For I thDought of you and the way you can tAurn it around with a smile
And the thDought of you brings it all my wAay
And I knBmow that it's over, but DI can't discover a wAay to erase how I feel
I remBmember the nights and the pGassionate fights and I knBmow that I love you and E7I always will
And I nAeed you to know that I'm always here for you, any dAay, any night, any time
It hAappened before, it could happen once more, there's a chAance that you might change you're mind
For the thDought of you how it feels to bAe safe in your arms
The thDought of you brings it all my wAay
And I knBmow that it's over, but DI can't discover a wAay to erase how I feel
I remBmember the nights and the pGassionate fights and I knBmow that I love you and E7I always will
It's been Aalmost a year since that beautiful weekend, it was mAore than a lifetime ago
