[Verse 1]
Almost been a year since we've been together
Seems so long ago since you drifted away
Suddenly the past has fallen in behind us
Now all I know is I want you to stay

[Chorus]
Don't slip away, oh no, don't slip away
Now that you're here we should just let it happen

[Verse 2]
Some things are best if they're only forgotten
You know I'm sorry, but what can I say?
The best years are after tomorrow
But time for changing should begin with today

[Chorus]
Don't slip away, oh no, don't slip away
Now that you're here we should just let it happen

[Verse 3]
You can't hide what we shared with each other
I know you still care and feel the same way
I'm sure there's more love in your heart than you're showing
Now it depends on what you have to say
