Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] In the days when I was young Never thought I’d need anyone I lived my life for myself I loved the freedom that I felt [Verse] And then one day I saw you there With your blue eyes and auburn hair I walked right up and said hello I wish I would’ve let you go [Verse] Six months later we were wed We were both in over our head Next thing I knew you were gone I should’ve just left you alone [Chorus] There was a time when you were mine There was a time when you said goodbye There was a time that I made you laugh There was a time that I made you cry There was a time when we both loved There was a time when we both lost There was a time that I’d take the risk There was a time that I’d learn the cost Before and after you were mine… There was a time [Guitar Solo] [Verse] You moved in and I broke your heart I should’ve seen right from the start There’s no way that we would last I just couldn’t give up my past [Verse] I really fell in love with you I hope you know that much is true My wild side couldn’t be tamed In the end I’m the one to blame [Verse You deserved far better than me I’m so sorry and hope you can see Because I loved you I let you go That’s one thing that I hope you know [Chorus] There was a time when you were mine There was a time when you said goodbye There was a time that I made you laugh There was a time that I made you cry There was a time when we both loved There was a time when we both lost There was a time that I’d take the risk There was a time that I’d learn the cost Before and after you were mine… There was a time [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Maybe we were meant to be It didn’t last because of me I’m so sorry that I hurt you That’s the last thing I’d want to do That day you packed and moved on I knew my happiness was gone You’re the only part of life I miss But I know it was all for the best [Chorus] There was a time when you were mine There was a time when you said goodbye There was a time that I made you laugh There was a time that I made you cry There was a time when we both loved There was a time when we both lost There was a time that I’d take the risk There was a time that I’d learn the cost Before and after you were mine… There was a time [Final Chorus] There was a time when you were mine There was a time when you said goodbye There was a time that I made you laugh There was a time that I made you cry There was a time when we both loved There was a time when we both lost There was a time that I’d take the risk There was a time that I’d learn the cost Before and after you were mine… There was a time
