We were a flower

That never reach full bloom

We never gave our love much chance to grow

Even though the feeling was wonderful

We went on our separate ways

And all we know

It's what we share is more than most



Chorus

----------

Cause we came all so very close to love

But we let it slip away

I always wondered why

You never chose to stay

So close to love

Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday

I find myself dreaming of

How we came all so very close to love



I always remember

The way you care for me

Time after time my life was in despair

Yet somehow I always knew you'll be right there

At times I did not have a prayer

I'm sure that you and I both know



Chorus

----------

That we came all so very close to love

But we let it slip away

I always wondered why

You never chose to stay

So close to love

Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday

And I think I had a lover

And we came all so very close to love



Bridge

---------

How can I face the fact it's over

We're through

I can't believe it's true

When I'm alone

Sometimes I wonder if you knew

How much I care for you

So I'm hanging on to the memories

How hard you make sweet love to me

And it's so hard to let it go



Chrous

----------

When we came all so very close to love

But we let it slip away

I always wondered why

You never chose to stay

So close to love

Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday

I find myself dreaming of

How we came all so very close to love

We let it slip away

I always wonder why

You never chose to
