All this time I've known ya
I never really known ya
Never really cared or looked beyond
What we were
Thought we had a connection
But there was no affection
Don't ask me why
You would say I deserve it
Only someone worth it
Something like a king
Giving me the world and
I would agree why did I fail to see
That all this time you were right here and for me

If I could try and turn back time
I would so I could relive that night you and
I let slip by
On September 9th
We laughed and we smiled, 'til the tears rolled down our eyes
That night we said goodbye
But holding on so tight to the memories of
September 9th

And I know the years have passed
But every time that fall comes around I get depressed
Thinking bout that last time that we had
Together, and I cannot
Forget the time
Now, I wanna know what you do
Wanna know what you're up to
Who you kiss at night
Giving all that love to
Bring me back to then
Cause I now understand
And I would make sure things go way different

If I could try and turn back time
I would so I could relive that night you and
I let slip by
On September 9th
We laughed and we smiled, 'til the tears rolled down our eyes
That night we said goodbye
But holding on so tight to the memories of
September 9th

And now all I can do is dream
And think of all the possibilities
Imagine what we could've been
And wait to find someone to comfort me
Hopefully he will take the place
Of all the space you occupy in here
Cause if he don't I am afraid
I will forever hate this day

Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh ahhhh
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh ahhhh

If I could try and turn back time
I would so I could relive that night you and
I let slip by
On September 9th
We laughed and we smiled, 'til the tears rolled down our eyes
That night we said goodbye
But holding on so tight to the memories of
September 9th
