Something happened on the way to heaven

Lyrics

[INTRO] 

[VERSE I]
We had a life, we had a love,
But you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til you lose it,
Well that was then and this is now,
And I want you back,
How many times can I say I’m sorry,
(How many times) yes I’m sorry
 
[VERSE II]
How can something so good, go so bad,
How can something so right, go so wrong,
I don’t know, I don’t have all the answers,
But I want you back,
How many times can I say I’m sorry.
(How many times)
 
[CHORUS I]
Oh you know you can run, and you can hide,
But I’m not leaving ‘less you come with me,
We’ve had our problems but I’m on your side,
You’re all I need, please believe in me.
Oh yeah.
 
[VERSE III]
I only wanted you as someone to love,
But something happened on the way to heaven,
It got a hold of me, and wouldn’t let go,
And I want you back,
How many times can I say I’m sorry.
(How many times) yes I’m sorry (sorry).
 
[CHORUS II]
Oh you know you can run, and you can hide,
But I’m not leaving ‘less you come with me,
We’ve had our problems but I’m on your side,
You’re all I need, please believe me.
You can run, and you can hide,
But I’m not leaving ‘till it’s all over,
We’ve had our problems but I’m on your side,
You’re all I need, let me show you.
 
[BRIDGE]
They say you can’t take it with you when you go,
And I believe it,
But taking what I’ve got or being her with you,
You know, I, I’d rather leave it.
 
[VERSE I]
 
[VERSE II]
 
[CHORUS II]
