Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance I think of you now and then But I remember when love was new And you were mine, my love So why would we pretend We were lovers and now we're friends I don't want to say goodbye to you Again, my love [Chorus:] It should have been me That's lovin' you instead of someone else I needed you but how was I to know It should have been me That's holding you through all the lonely nights I knew that I should never let you go, My love What we once had is gone No tears, no right, no wrong It could never be the same again, my love The more we see the less we know Now you believe our love will grow I don't want to say goodbye to you again, My love [Chorus] My love, how would I survive With another broken heart On my own again When I need a friend To help me find a place to start [Chorus]
