I Won't Hold You Back Lyrics
If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same,
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead
[Chorus:]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
Now that I'm alone it gives me time to think about the years that you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
[Chorus:]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now
[Instrumental break]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
[Repeat until fade]
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found

the way they sing this is beatiful, sad but shit like this, happens.. its ggreat I think the lyrics pretty much speak for itself, the person realises how much his other half meant to him only at the very end, where things are irreversible. agrees totally that she was the one, but knows she's moved on, no way back now
great great song. so sad and so true. sometimes you just have to let someone go no matter how hard it is for both if you.
I heard this song on the radio today and I started having some serious "Dark Crystal" flashbacks - the nostalgia almost made me cry. It must have come out around 1982 or so?
This song always hits me in the pit of the stomach. To loose someone and know that there is nothing you can say or do to change that outcome. It makes you a stronger person, but harder for people to get through to you. Life is quite the journey.
Such a sad song. Who wrote the lyrics?

Won´t hold you back! is due to is everlasting change or changed... and won´t happen again! either is heaven on due time or it won´t happen again the same because love is like that it can´t be found and is only found in God in Jesus Christ like a Father to a son. Love is like that or marriage
I heard this on an episode of American Dad. Funny show!
