Lyrics I Never Had a Chance - Mel Torme

I Never Had a Chance

I never had a chance
I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance
I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance
I knew we’d have to part
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart
My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat
But more than that I never had a chance
I guess there’s nothing to do and nothing to say
But simply go on my way and call it a day
I guess I’m ready to go right back on my shelf
Because at last, I’ve learned, where you’re concerned
I’ve just been fooling myself
I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance
My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat
But more than that I never had a chance
Never had a chance
