Lyrics Perfect Love - Don McLean

Perfect Love

If something had been different, if something had gone right
If something had been better, I might not sing my song tonight
If all my plans had come to pass and fit like hand in glove
Then, I'd have lost my only chance to know a perfect love

For all my wrongs were righted, and all the dreams I planned
Had worked out as I thought they should and not turn into sand
Then we've walked down different paths not guided from above
For the greatest dream I ever dreamed is to know a perfect love

A perfect love is sometimes found with just one right mistake
That brings the perfect couple to the crossroads that they make
And now that I have found her, I've changed my point of view
And I've learned that old regretful paths can lead to something new

So, if you think there's nothing left, and if you think you're through
And if you've written off your life as many people do
And if your plans don't come to pass and fit like hand in glove
Perhaps it means tomorrow you will find a perfect love

If your plans don't come to pass and fit like hand in glove
Perhaps it means tomorrow you will find a perfect love
