Connie Smith – Just One Time lyrics

If I could see you just one time oh how it’d ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time and then pretend that you’re still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so they now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh how I miss you so oh I need you so
I I I’d give this heart of mine wish I could see you just one time

Wish I could relive just one time turn back the pages and there I’d find
That same old love that once was mine wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh how I miss you so…
Oh oh oh how I love you so…
Oh oh oh how I miss you so…
Wish I could see you just one time wish I could see you one more time
