here i go again love’s standing at my door
i’m so afraid to take a chance for i’ve been hurt before
it’s not that i can’t love you your life i’d like to share
but my heart’s been broken so many times it’s just afraid to care
maybe time will ease the pain and someday i can love again
my heart can’t stand a new affair
it’s loved and lost so many times it’s just afraid to care
[ steel ]
maybe time will ease the pain…

what will i do with all those yesterdays where will i go what will i say
how can i live since you have gone away what will i do with all those yesterdays
tomorrow never bothers me i know what it will bring
it is just another day and it won’t mean a thing
but when nighttime falls and mem’ries come to play
what will i do with all those yesterdays
[ guitar ]
tomorrow never bothers me…

you say you’ve found somebody new but that won’t stop my loving you
i just can’t let you walk away forget the love i have for you
yes i could find somebody too but i don’t want no one but you
how can you leave without regret am i that easy to forget
before you leave be sure you find you want his love much more than mine
then i’ll just say we’ve never met if i’m that easy to forget
[ steel ]
yes i could find somebody too but i don’t want no one but you
i couldn’t leave without regret you’re not that easy to forget
before you leave be sure…

no regrets no heart feeling it’s over all the good times together are through
i’ll have a lifetime of mem’ries to keep me going
i wouldn’t take back one moment spent with you
i can’t say that your leaving won’t hurt me but it’s nothing that time can erase
and someday this hurtin’ will be over another story another time another place
and one day i’ll be sittin’ with another and suddenly a smile will cross my face
if she asks me what’s so funny then i’ll tell her
another story another time another place
[ guitar ]
so no regrets no heart feeling it’s over yes it hurts me cause i’d lost out in the race
but someday this hurtin’s gonna leave me another story another time another place
and one day i’ll be sittin’…

just follow the stairway to this lonely world of mine
you’ll find me waitin’ here in apartment no 9
not so very long ago you walked away from me
and after all the plans we made you decided to be free
loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me
and the sun will never shine in apartment no 9
[ steel ]
i’ll keep waitin’ in this lonely room just in case you’d change your mind
you’ll find me waitin’ here in apartment no 9
loneliness surrounds me…
no the sun will never shine in apartment no 9
