Lyrics: 

​Verse 1




Chorus





Verse 2




Verse 3





Well I meant to call you just before I left to go away
But I guess you know that's what I'd say by now
Then again I'm ever sure when is the proper time of day
Since we never get together anyhow.

Now It was really nice to watch the candle through a glass of wine
Dreaming dreams together when the quiet night was yours and mine
Just a pair of fools wrapped up in soft light dancing from the fire
Till the morning light would whisper in the sky

I keep thinking that you saw me in the park the other day
When I have the time I go to where we met
When I am on the road I see you in the crowd, or by the way,
Its going to take some time before I can forget
​
There's a party for some friends we both know
When I'm back in town, do you think you could get there for a while
We were never meant to happen, still it doesn't mean to say
We can share a glass and look back with a smile
