When I first arrived in this country it was almost winter, the coldest winter of all my life. Everything was so strange, new, scary…

I used to spend hours and hours thinking about my decisions, and where they had brought me to. I was so unsure about everything I had done, what if I had taken another route? what if I hadn’t done so many mistakes? What if I had talked or shut up at right time?…

I heard this music, I didn’t care who was singing, or what was about, but it called my attention, even the voice wasn’t so good, it helped to find out the was Kate Winslet, yes the same one from TITANIC, poor thing, she has no voice. However, the lyric is truly beautiful, and was made by her after a painful divorce, it came to be the theme for a special Christmas cartoon of that year, based on Charles Dickens’ novel “A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas”

Well, you probable know the story, the three ghosts appear in dreams, or nightmares, to remind a few things to the rich and mean Mr. Scrooge. The final lesson is simple, doesn’t matter about your past, it is gone, does not belong to you any more, go ahead, your future depends on what you make right today.

Still, “what if?” We would never know.

Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I’d stayed
If you’d tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we’ll never know
Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I’d never left your side
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I’d stayed
If you’d tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we’ll never know
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
‘Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
‘Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I’d stayed
If you’d tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we’ll never know
We’ll never know
