12-12-84 Lyrics - Singles - David Ball

12-12-84 

Ten o'clock at night 

Funny how you can remember 

Certain moments in your life 

I wish, I could go back 

To take back the words I said 

Though it's been years since that night 

They still echo in my head 

Time is a teacher 

Oh, and time has taught me well 

What brings a man to his knees 

Is often brought on by himself 

If a second chance were offered 

She could love me like before 

I'd go back to the end and start over again 

On 12-12-84 

A cold wind was blowing 

It whistled through the pines 

I told her, I don't need her 

And she told me goodbye 

I remember embers dying 

In the ashes and the coals 

And like smoke up the chimney 

I watched a true love go 

Time is a teacher 

Oh, and time has taught me well 

What brings a man to his knees 

Is often brought on by himself 

If a second chance were offered 

She could love me like before 

I'd go back to the end and start over again 

On 12-12-84 

I'd go back to the end and start over again 

On 12-12-84
