1. Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eyes
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say good bye

2. Looking back over my shoulder
With an aching deep in my heart
I wish we were starting over
Oh instead we're drifting so far apart

B: Everybody told me you were leaving
Funny I should be the last to know
Baby, please, tell me that I'm dreaming
I just never want to let you go

3. Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eyes
Turning my heart over and over
I never wanted to say good bye

B: I don't mind everybody laughing
But it's enough to make an old man cry
'cause I can feel you're slipping through my fingers
I don't even know the reason why

4. Whistle the melody

B. Everyday it's a losing battle
Just to smile and hold my head up high
Could it be we belong together
Baby, won't you give me one more try?
One more try

5. Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eyes
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say good bye
