So many years gone, still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone, love that was so wrong
I can't forget the way it used to be
And how you changed the taste of love for me
And you were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only want that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
And we'll have no ending (no, no)
If we can hold on
And I think I've come this far because of you
Could be no other love but ours will do
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best of me for you

The music video directed by Paul Boyd, initially shows us Bryan Adams in a hotel room, later appearing on the screen of a camcorder, singing his song, at a party held in the same hotel. At the end of the video clip, we can see the singer singing and playing the guitar, in the bedroom, with the woman who was filming him earlier.
