                         *

And   now I m    walking right back to   you
                                                                 
And   all a-   long I never really   kne-   ew

 Don t look back,   to think a-   bout the things we   did
                                                                
 Don t look back,   to pretend that s   how it might have    been

And   now I m    walking right back to   you
                                                                 
And   all a-   long I never really   kne-   ew
