If I Could Write You a Love Song

I daydream about our walks on the beach, in the evening light
I think about us listening to the way the waves crashed that night
We were down there on the sand for what seemed like seven years
But what we didn't know at the time is we'd both end up in tears

Baby, this ain't fair to both of us
It's gonna take some time and a little trust, but

If I could write you a love song, I'd give you only the truth
It'd be about how strongly that I still feel for you
And when the day breaks even, I can honestly say
That this old love we've got, it ain't ever goin' away

Years went by, and I flew down to the place where you grew up
The place we met, where our hearts touched, and where we fell in love
And we rekindled that romance even after seven years
But what we didn't know at the time is we'd still end up in tears

Baby, this ain't fair to both of us
It's gonna take some time and a little trust, but

If I could write you a love song, I'd bring up that afternoon
That we sat in a conversation in that cottage living room
And when the day broke into night, I could honestly say
That this old love we've got, it ain't ever goin' away

Baby, this ain't fair to both of us
Maybe we can try to fix this up
It's gonna take some time and a little trust
To get back what we've lost, because

I'm writing you this love song, and I'm telling you it's true
I know I said that I'll be stronger, 'cause I'm still in love with you
And when the day breaks even, I can honestly say
That this old love we've got, it ain't ever goin' away

Yeah, this old love we've got, it ain't ever goin' away
Yeah, this old love we've got, it ain't ever goin' away
Yeah, this old love we've got is here to stay
