Story behind the song
When my son Jimmy passed away in 1998 I was inspired to write the lyrics to this song. I rewrote later to a story about a person who has lost their soulmate. The song, however, will always be a "Jimmy" song.
Lyrics
BACK IN TIME
It has been a long and rocky road,
From where we’re standing today,
I just can’t believe that it is over,
That it’s our final judgment day,
It was so long a when I held you,
And I loved that you were mine,
Baby I saw forever in our future,
Just when did we run out of time?
Chorus
I want to go back in time,
Where we were so long ago,
I want to go back in time,
When we loved each other so,
I want to go back in time,
To the day we said “I do”,
I want to go back in time,
When I shared my life with you.
With all of our friends around me,
I’m forced to say my last goodbye,
And I watch them as they lower you,
But I know you’re headed for the sky.
Now without you I have to go on,
Til’ the good Lord will call me too,
And until that day finally arrives,
I’m going back in time with you.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Honey I’m so afraid to go on, without you standing here by my side,
Please come back to me in dreams, and together we’ll go back in time.
Repeat Chorus
