Lyrics by Tony Mills
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
I wish I’d never seen this day
And darker clouds had blown away
To clear the sky
For the sun to shine
I pray that memories fade away
And some new morning I’ll breathe the light of day
Then she will know the price we paid
And we paid
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was to turn back time
And wipe the tears from my eyes
They’ve been there a long time
I’m locked down a heart that’s screaming
No love I’m only dreaming
When you smile
I see shadows on the ceiling
When once a kiss was all
No more within these walls
And so your distant love still calls
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was to turn back time
And wipe the tears from my eyes
They’ve been there a long time
With all the hope that slips away
A shining star will come our way
Take it back
Turn it back
Take it back
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was holding hands on drifting sands
And walking while the sun was falling
And all the words
I never heard
They only cried that love was calling
Way down within your mind
You left our life behind
A place where passion
Leaves a grown man blind
So take away my heart
We won’t survive apart
For this is the day
For young love and young hearts
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was to turn back time
And wipe the tears from my eyes
They’ve been there a long time
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was to turn back time
Take it back
Turn it back
Take it back
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was to turn back time
