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)
