lyrics

You can't tell the rain to just stop falling,
you can't tell the sun to always shine,
you can't tell the clouds to move along
and you can't make the things you did undone.

You can't tell the day to last forever,
you can't tell the night to never end,
you can't tell the morning not to come,
no and you can't make the things you did undone.

If I could just have one moment it would be with you,
the way I see you in my heart.
If I could just have one memory it would be of you,
before love did depart.

You can't tell the flowers not to blossom,
you can't tell the trees to keep their leafs,
you can't tell this song to be unsung
and you can't make the things you did undone.

If I could just have one moment it would be with you,
the way I see you in my heart.
If I could just have one memory it would be of you,
before love did depart.

No we can't always have it our way,
no we can't always make the feeling stay,
no we can't always choose the life we wanted,
but sadly never had,
no we can't tell our fate which way to go,
but sometimes things are just so.

If I could just have one moment it would be with you,
the way I see you in my heart.
If I could just have one memory it would be of you,
before love did depart.

You can't tell the day to last forever,
you can't tell the night to never end,
and you can't tell the morning not to come, no,
and you can't make the things you did undone,
no you can't make this love we had undone.
