If I Could Change One Thing

If I could change on thing 
I know what it would be
I would bring him back 
For all the world to see

I would ask for nothing
Not a moment of his time
But I would love him always
And forever in my mind

I'll always remember
The moments that we shared
I hope he truly knows
Just how much I cared

I will believe in him
His soul's a part of me
I know my heart is with him
Wherever he may be

If I could change one thing
I know what it would be
I would bring him back
For all the world to see

I would ask for nothing
Not a moment of his time
But I will love him always 
And forever in my mind
