and he watched me packing
He already knew I was leaving
I took what I needed but

When I heard the chapel bell
and it took me back another life ago

When our hearts were open
Oh back when we could still a-gree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I got down on our knees and said

And I've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tire and it's not too late

Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime

Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mi
