| I must have been the luckiest man in the world | |
| I'll never know why | |
| I left her | |
| There's nothin' like the love of a small town girl | |
| But I thought | |
| I'd found something better. | |
| So I hit the big cities from coast to coast | |
| And I must admit | |
| I had a good time | |
| But now I've been around, and | |
| I'd like to settle down | |
| But only with the one that | |
| I left behind | |
| And it's all comin' back to me now | |
| It's all comin' back to me now | |
| It's all comin' back to me now. [Instrumental] | |
| You know I never was much for keepin' in touch | |
| I never wrote and never heard from her | |
| I'd love to talk to her, maybe try to make up | |
| For some of the pain | |
| I caused her. | |
| I realize now, | |
| I'm down on my luck | |
| And she's what | |
| I could never find | |
| And now I'm back in town, but she's not around | |
| And I'm dealin' with a heartache of the very worst kind. | |
| And it's all comin' back to me now, right now | |
| It's all comin' back to me now. | |
| I wonder now if this is how she must have hurt | |
| I know, for what | |
| I did, I'm gettin' what | |
| I deserve ' | |
| Cause it's all comin' back to me now. [Instrumental] | |
| Now I'm back in town, but she's not around | |
| And I'm dealin' with a heartache of the very worst kind. | |
| And it's all comin' back to me now, right now | |
| It's all (it's all) comin' back (comin' back) to me now. [Instrumental & vocalizations] | |
| It's all (comin' back, comin' back to me now) (comin' back, comin' back to me now) (comin' back, comin' back to me now...) [Instrumental to fade out] |
