Ain't it a shame How I took you for granted I never thanked you quite enough For all the things you've done And no one could love me The way you always loved me Now I've got a lot of time to think About you since you're gone A thousand times I want to hold you A thousand times I wish I'd told you How much you mean to me I'd tell you a thousand times A thousand times I want to love you A thousand times I'm thinking of you I wish had one more time To tell you a thousand times Now ain't it funny How we gain a new perspective It wasn't long 'til you were gone To see things a different way I wish I had the chance To do it all over I bet I'd find the time to say I love you a thousand times A thousand times I want to hold you A thousand times I wish I'd told you How much you mean to me I'd tell you a thousand times A thousand times I want to love you A thousand times I'm thinking of you I wish had one more time To tell you a thousand times A thousand times Oh a thousand times I wish that you were here I wished a thousand times A thousand times I want to hold you A thousand times I wish I'd told you How much you mean to me I'd tell you a thousand times A thousand times I want to love you A thousand times I'm thinking of you I wish had one more time To tell you a thousand times I wish had one more time To tell you a thousand times I wish had one more time To tell you a thousand times
