Someday soon we'll wonder why,
getting this far took so much time,
why every opportunity wasn't taken to the full.
Careful thought for every move,
taking it slow, so I'd be sure.
But looking back it's obvious,
how much I wanted you.

I've had enough time to think it over now.
There's no-one I want more than I want you.
Your cheek on my cheek, my arms holding you tight.
Looking into your eyes, smile in the disco light...

But thinking back I should have told you then.

Remembering you close to me,
our noses touched and I could see,
what I thought was gladness mirrored in your deep brown eyes.
But things won't work out, they never do.
This memory I have of you,
is all I have to think of what almost could have been.

I've had enough time to think it over now.
There's no-one I want more than I want you.
Your cheek on my cheek, my arms holding you tight.
Looking into your eyes, smile in the disco light...
I'll write you this song,
and I'll sing it for you here.
It could have been so much more,
if I could have let you see,
that all I lacked were your lips,
and the words that meant they would stay,
hold you close, hold you close,
so you'd never, so you'd never, never go away.
