Song Description

wistful ballad about the girl he never got

Lyrics

Verse 1A SHE USED TO LIGHT THE ROOM
SHE?D SHARE HER SMILE SO FREELY
A LAUGH FOR EVERYONE
AND I WAS HERS COMPLETELY

Verse 1B BUT SHE WAS NEVER MINE
THE WORDS I WANTED TO SAY
I GUESS I MISSED MY CHANCE
FOR THAT SWEET SMILE HE TOOK AWAY

Verse 2A AT FIRST HE CAME TO STARE
SO TOUGH AND YET SO HELPLESS
HE FOUND HER WELCOME EYES
AND BURNED UNTIL SHE MELTED

Verse 2B TOO SOON IT WAS TOO LATE
I NEVER ASKED HER TO STAY
BY NOW I SHOULD MOVE ON
BUT FOR THAT SMILE HE TOOK AWAY

Bridge AND SHE?S STILL SMILING IN MY MIND
AND I?M STILL HANGING ON TO THAT LIFELINE
THAT ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Verse 3A GUESS WHAT? HE BROKE HER HEART
SHE?S GONE WHERE HE CAN?T FIND HER
TO TRY AND START AGAIN
AND PUT THAT LIFE BEHIND HER

Verse 3B SHE COMES INTO THIS BAR
SHE?S JUST THE SAME TO THIS DAY ?
SAME VOICE, SAME HAIR, SAME FACE
ALL BUT THE SMILE HE TOOK AWAY
