If I Could Only Have That Day Back - Howard Hewett

Summertime, such a sweet sweet smell

This photograph of you, shows very well

How happy we were then, so wild and free

My beating heart, begins to race

A single tear, leaves an everlasting trace

Now that your gone girl, it’s easier to see

Oh sing sweetly now

(just how much I missed you)

More than you’ll ever know now baby

(just how much I loved you)

It’s only you I want to hold

If I could only have that day back

Just for a while, long enough to see you smile

If I could only have that day back

To love again, the way I loved you way back when

(If I could only have that day back)

Oh baby, I wanna hold you baby

(If I could only have that day back)

Yeah, yeah

No holding on, to the hands of time

This simple twist of fate, ain’t no ordinary crime

Your gone for good now, it all comes down to me

Oh sing sweetly now

(just how much I missed you)

More than you’ll ever know now baby

(just how much I loved you)

It’s only you I want to hold

If I could only have that day back

Just for a while, long enough to see you smile

If I could only have that day back

Just to love you again, the way I loved you way back when

Oh, Oh girl, ooh whoo

I really loved you

(that's how much I want you)

More than you’ll ever know now baby

(that's how much I need you)

Oh I really need you girl

(that's how much I lived for)

I wanna live for you darling

(love and live and die for)

I wanna hold you now baby oh

(If I could only have that day back)

Oh to love you, oh to hold you, hey baby

(If I could only have that day back)

I wanna love you my baby, hey yeah, yeah, yeah

(If I could only have that day back)

Ooh hoo ooh

Could I have that day back baby yeah, day back baby yeah

(If I could only have that day back)

I wanna hold you, I wanna love you, I wanna love you

(If I could only have that day back)

Ooh whoo ooh ooh oohoo oohoohoo, Oh, oh, oh

(If I could only have that day back)

Say, just let me love you;

say, just let me love you

(If I could only have that day back)

I just want to hold you in my arms
