| We were close to it all
|
| Caught the rainbows we chased
|
| Then we watched the sky fall
|
| All that love went to waste
|
| What we had was the end
|
| It could not be erased
|
| That’s the pity, my friend
|
| All that love went to waste
|
| If we only could have guessed
|
| That it couldn’t stand the test
|
| We’d have played it all for jest
|
| And have been each other’s guest
|
| We’d have smiled and strolled away
|
| While it still was light and gay
|
| But now here’s that rainy day
|
| If we held back a bit
|
| Every time we embraced
|
| We’d have saved some of it
|
| If we just walked, instead of raced
|
| And just made love, instead of haste
|
| That lovely love would never have gone to waste
|
| If we held back a bit
|
| Every time we embraced
|
| We’d have saved some of it
|
| If we just walked, instead of raced
|
| And just made love, instead of haste
|
| That lovely love would never have gone to waste
|
| That lovely love would never have gone to waste |
