Once before I go
 I want you to know
 That I would do it all again
 I'm sure I'd make the same mistakes
 But I could make it through 
 The pains and joys and aches
 I knew back then
 I'd do it all
 I'd do it all again

 Before I go
 I want you to know
 That I look back with no regrets
 And when our luck was wearing thin
 And we were down and out 
 And still came back to win against all bets
 Now when I look back
 I still have no regrets

 And it's so hard to say good-byes
 When there's so much that's left
 Unspoken in your eyes
 But unless I spread my wings again
 I'm afraid I'll never soar
 So hang on to the memories
 And hold me close once more

 Once more
 Just once before I go
 I want you to know
 That I have loved you all along
 And even when we're far apart
 I only need to feel you're living in my heart
 And I'll be strong
 Love you just the way
 I've loved you all along

 And it's so hard to say good-byes
 When there's so much that's left
 Unspoken in your eyes
 But unless I spread my wings again
 I'm afraid I'll never soar
 So kiss me for the last time
 And hold me close once more

 Once more
 Just once before I go
 I want you to know
 That I have loved you all along
 And even when we're far apart
 I only need to feel you're living in my heart
 And I'll be strong

 You are the light that shines on me
 You always were and you'll always be
 So I had to let you know
 Just this once
 Just this once
 Before I go
