[Intro — soft female lead] Mmm… Baby… Before you walk away… Listen to me. [Verse 1] We used to sit for hours With nothing much to say, And somehow just your hand in mine Could take my cares away. But lately when I reach for you, You turn your eyes from me. Tell me, baby… How did two hearts so close Get so far apart? [Background Girls] So far apart… So far apart… [Verse 2] I still remember summer nights When you would walk me home. You’d wait until my light came on Before you’d ever go. And I would watch you from my window Till you disappeared from sight. Oh, baby… Where did we lose A love that felt so right? [Chorus] Let’s not say goodbye… Not tonight. There’s still a little love Burning deep inside. And if there’s just one little chance To make it like before, Then take my hand… And love me Just once more. [Background Girls] Once more… Try love once more… [Verse 3] I know that I have hurt you. And you’ve hurt me some too. But counting every yesterday Won’t tell us what to do. ‘Cause underneath the angry words And everything we’ve said, I still see that boy I loved… When I look at you. [Background Girls] She still loves you… [Lead] Oh, yes I do. [Bridge] Maybe love gets tired. Maybe hearts lose their way. Maybe people say things They never meant to say. But if you still feel something When I’m standing close to you… Then, baby… Our love ain’t through. [Instrumental Break] [Soft saxophone answers the melody] [Background Girls] Don’t let him go… Don’t let him go… [Lead] Baby, don’t go… [Final Chorus] Let’s not say goodbye… Not tonight. Hold me like you held me When everything was right. We don’t need forever To know what we should do. Just give this old love One more chance… Me and you. [Background Girls] Try it again… Try it again… [Lead] Come on, baby… [Background Girls] Try it again… [Lead] We had something good. [Background Girls] Don’t throw it away… [Lead] No, no… Don’t throw it away. [Outro] Remember when you loved me? (I remember…) Remember when I loved you? (I remember…) Baby, I never stopped. I just forgot… How to show you. [Background Girls] Try it again… [Lead] Mmm… Just one more time. [Fade]
