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
