I can't lie 
I was attracted too 
Somehow the feelings 
Were so strong inside 
But I'm not free to be 
In love with you maybe 
Things would be different 
In another place and time 

And I can't give you 
All you want me to 
And I know you deserve 
The best from me 
But I can't give you more 
Of all that you long for 
I would have loved you 
In another place and time 

Dreams aren't always bound to come true 
But that's no reason you should cry 

'Cause I would have loved you 
Really loved you 
In another place and time 

I'm hurting deep inside 
Just want you to know 
Oh, I would have loved you 
Oh yeah, in another place and time 

Fate can't always be led by you 
The time ain't right for you and I 

In another place and time 
In another place and time
