i've been away long enough to see

what we had was worth so much to me

and i hope, we can, turn back the hands of time

it's not too late if only we could try （we've only got to try）

this time i know, love's a crazy game

this time i know, the rules will never change

this time i know, a winning hand you never throw away

i was lost in a dream but now i finally see

what i was looking for was there in front of me

now i hope we can turn back the hands of time

something better i know i'll never find

i know i'll never find

this time, i know loves a crazy game

this time, i know theres got to be some pain

this time, i know...

i didn't know what we had until it was gone

this time i know

this time i know, love's a crazy game

this time i know, the rules will never change

this time i know, a winning hand you never throw away

this time i know
