If I Could Take the Moment Back

If I could take the moment back, With you what would I do? Would I kiss you long and hold you Close and pray you'll say I do? Would I look in eyes so young and bright And think it all so wrong, For having nothing of a love That you had all along? Would I have stopped the preacher when He said to me, "will you…" And now I know It would have been the honorable thing to do. But the fear I had ran, Oh, so deep To lose what you could give, A fear that you would suffer for a thousand times, Until I realized the true meaning of love. And now I think of that moment, time after time, When I could have saved your life, Or was it my life that was saved, When I made you my wife.
