If only we'd talked it out a little more, you might never have gone away

If only I'd tried instead of making for the door

You'd be loving me still today



And if I'd only been a little wiser, you knew I knew the lies you told

But you thought I didn't care

And if I'd only shown my love in so many different ways, if only you'd stayed



Chorus:

And in a thousand years, I'll still be thinking of you

Though in a thousand years, my life will long have gone

But in a thousand years, we'll probably be together

But right now, you're gone



If only I had you back again right now, wouldn't ask for a thing, I know

Except to say, "I'm sorry and how", and the wisdom to let it show



And if I'd only looked a little deeper, each time I saw you weeping

How I wished I'd held you close

'cos if I'd only shown my love in so many different ways

Maybe you would've stayed



chorus



And in a thousand years

And in a thousand years - I'll still be thinkin' of you

And in a thousand years - though my life will long have gone

And in a thousand years - we'll probably be together forever

And in a thousand years - forever and ever and ever and ever

And in a thousand years - I'll still be thinkin' of you... (to fade)
