You were standing there
Years ago
Waiting so patiently
To take me home
And as you held out your hand
I'll never forget
That I walked right by you
This day I regret

I had fire in my heart
And you knew it
I was like you
So much like you

As I marched along
Five paces ahead
You had a smile for me
I still can't forget
Still I wanted to walk
On my own
You were there to protect me
On my way home

Now, time has gone
And it's taken you with it
And I miss you so
This much I know
Now I look back
On all that I've done
Well, I hope you've forgiven me
See, I was so young
Now, I have grown
But I now walk alone
I feel you beside me
Still guiding me home

'Cause I had fire in my heart
And you knew it
I was like you
I was so much like you

Now, time has gone
And it's taken you with it
And I miss you so
This much I know
Yes, I miss you so
Now that I know

Ooh-hoo
Yeah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, yeah
