Jackson, Alan - I Wish I Could Back Up Lyrics






I wish I could back up and start all over
Cause now I'd know better the best way to love her
The words I would tell her the time I would give her
I wish I could back up and start all over

[CHORUS:]
Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over

I wish I could back up and start all over
I'd make the first time feel like forever
Not to be younger may be just to be smarter
I wish I could back up and start all over
Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over
I wish I could back up and start all over
Days I would take back nights i'd wanna make longer
Moments i'd never just throw over my shoulder
I wish I could back up and start all over

[BRIDGE]
But it's never too late to wanna do better
Love's never easy, changes just like the weather
Some days it's raining some are sunny and blue
There's never perfect but there's faithful and true
Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over
I wish I could back up and start all over

    Love You Chi Tinh.

  17. N.... H....

    Makes me think of this girl. She really loves me but she doesn't have curves and boobs (which I am really into) but she's got the sweetest kindest heart. She is almost my age and I'm told it's better to be with a girl much younger than you as the man. She broke up with me because all these thoughts led me to start ignoring her. Should I go for a girl that looks the way I want or what?

  18. t.... ....

    Deep words Mr Jackson 👌

    this man will see heaven, his songs have really built me

  21. L.... G....

    My tablet froze up on me earlier and I had to learn that all I had to do was to turn it off and turn it back on and it would be fine. I had to spend the night without it and feel like an idiot when I got it back on. This MS really sucks it is a good thing I still look good for 58.

  22. L.... G....

    I just got back from Church and I am not going to be able to text you on my phone because I am an idiot about modern technology baby.

    @SVRKitten
    Yes. But love can heal those wounds. All you have to do is give it a chance. Even when you feel you can't.
    "Yesturday is history, Tommorrow's a mystery, but Today is a gift. That is why it is called the Present." Love it as such.

  76. S.... ....

    Love Really Kills,My Heart Is Stiched But The Wounds Are Still There.

  77. M.... S....

    There's no doubt in my mind that if this scintillating song had been the first single from his wonderful 'Good Time' CD, that it could have conceivably been one of the very biggest hits of his exhilirating career; this is one song of his that I wish lots of country statrions would play once or twice a day, although it was never released as a single.

    Thanks for supplying those awesome lyrics.

  78. S.... f....

    One Of a Kind ....Soul Touching song!

  79. J.... ....

    Alan is a handsome man :)

    J.... ....

    VERY HANDSOME.

  80. c.... ....

    If this song was released as a single it would have hit #1

  81. C.... S....

    @Mourmaline Yea if they disliked this song they have no idea at all what love means,

  82. C.... S....

    This songs hits it hard on the head. It's exactly what I wish I could do with my ex gf. I screwed that up bad and I just wish that I could do it one more time and make it right.

  83. M.... ....

    Best song

    M.... ....

    Valekmoryachok

  84. M.... J....

    Wow..whoever disliked this song doesn't know what love means.

    M.... J....

    I feel connected with every women who lost her love and getting healed with country love songs

  85. W.... F....

    this is a nice song i want to try to sing this and i think its its in (G)

  86. r.... ....

  89. 6.... ....

    The words say it all. Either get busy living or get busy dieing. Let me tell ya young man in the foolishness of your youth be very careful what you ask for. For as a leaf in a tempest try as you may you can NEVER go back.

  90. J.... S....

    True. If I had known that I would live as long as I have I would have taken better care of myself, and my relationships, I would hope. Sigh. Looking forward -----------.
