Lyrics
Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I’m glad for all the good times
Cause you’ve brought me so much sunshine
And love was the best it’s ever been
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Wouldn’t have missed loving you girl
You’ve made my whole life worth while
With your smile
I wouldn’t trade one memory
‘Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
They say that all good things must end
Loves comes and goes just like the wind
You’ve got your dreams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know I’d do it all again
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Wouldn’t have missed loving you girl (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’ve made my whole life worth while
With your smile
I wouldn’t trade one memory
‘Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Oh, I wouldn’t trade one memory
‘Cause you mean too much to me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Wouldn’t have missed loving you girl (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’ve made my whole life worth while
With your smile
Oh, I wouldn’t trade one memory
