Verse 1
If I could say hello again
I’d have so much to say
The words I never said to you
The words I meant to say
If I knew your time was short
If I knew you were losing time
My only wish would be right now
To whisper one more line
Verse 2
You left me without a chance
I’d say so much to you
Those endless days we had it all
But time did pass us through
I should have stayed a little longer
Listened more, been there
The little moments mattered most
The quiet love we shared
Chorus
If I could speak for a while
Just you and me tonight
The night wouldn’t last long enough
Morn would come quick and bright
If I could hold that passing hour
And keep the world at bay
I’d tell you all the things I felt
The words I meant to say
Verse 3
My broken heart did never mend
I really tried it all
You meant so very much to me
Forgive me for it all
I’m sorry to bring this up right now
The days I was not there
To talk to you, to love you more
With tenderness and care
Bridge
So many days I thought would wait
Another time, another place
But life can turn so quietly
And leave an empty space
Now every thought comes back to you
In sunlight, rain, or when skies grey
And all my heart still whispers soft—
The words I meant to say
Final Chorus
If I could say hello again
I’d have so much to say
The night would never last enough
I’d beg the dawn to stay
Just you and me for one more while
One quiet talk, one gentle light
To speak the love I held inside
And hold you close tonight
