carpenters - (want you) back in my life again lyrics

(kerry chater & chris christian)
you know it doesn't seem that long ago
that i had your love and let it go
and i really let you down i know
i'm losin' your love

i guess it took a while for me to see
what it is you really mean to me
i've been as big a fool as i can be
for losing your love

chorus:

i want you back in my life again
i don't want to be your remember when
i want you back in my life again
let's go back to the place where it all began
i've lived long enough with your memory
now i know that i need you here with me

there was a time i thought i had it made
but i didn't see the price i had paid
and the price gets higher ev'ry day
and all i can say is

you're the only one who knows my heart
so let's take it right back to the start
and i won't have to play the part
of losing your love

repeat chorus

you're the only one who knows my heart
so let's take it right back to the start
and i won't have to play the part
of losing your love

i want you back in my life again
i don't want to be your remember when
i want you back in my life again
let's go back to the place where it all began
i've lived long enough with your memory
now i know that i want you, know that i need you
back in my life
