Like an old abandoned ferris wheel Time for me is standing still It's you and me in mid-July Underneath the midway lights And all our friends are standing there So I was acting like I didn't care When you put your arms around my neck And I barely even kissed you back
But if I'd known it was the last time I'd held on a little longer And let that moment linger And never let your fingers Slip away from mine If I'd known there'd never be another day I'd watched you as you walked away Kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight If I If I'd known it was the last time
Now the midway lights have all shut down And grass has grown up all around It's an empty field across the tracks But I can't keep from coming back It was just another summer night Carousel roller coaster ride And that silly fight that we got in Didn't seem so important then
But if I'd known it was the last time I'd held on a little longer And let that moment linger And never let your fingers Slip away from mine If I'd known there'd never be another day I'd watched you as you walked away Kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight If I If I'd known it was the last time
If I'd known then what I know now I'd never let you disappear into the crowd Or turn away the way I did With so much left unsaid If I If I'd known it was the last time
