You came close |
|
Close but no cigar |
|
You didn't miss by far |
|
You know you came this close |
|
Close but no cigar |
|
Some people sing love songs |
|
Everybody's got one |
|
This isn't my love song |
|
It's more like my love gone wrong song |
|
She came to breakfast and stayed a week |
|
But the lie detectors |
|
Broke down each time she tried to speak |
|
Broke down when she said"You came closeClose but no cigarYou didn't miss by farYou know you came this close""Close but no cigarNo matter where you areYou know you came this closeClose but no cigar" |
|
I remember, |
|
I remember, |
|
I remember the promise in your eyes |
|
As black as the night, |
|
I drove you to the airport |
|
And I remember, |
|
I remember, |
|
I remember |
|
The wide Brazillian sky that swallowed you, you |
|
Then I hit thirty |
|
Guess I can't complain |
|
But I must have been lonely |
|
The night |
|
I bumped into |
|
LorraineShe came for coffee and stayed all night |
|
But the lie detectors broke down every time |
|
I tried to smile |
|
Broke down like the story of my life |
|
And each dream |
|
I missed by half a mile |
|
Broke down when |
|
I told her"You came closeClose but no cigarYou didn't miss by farYou know you came this close""Close but no cigarNo matter where you areYou know you came so close""Close but no cigarYou didn't miss by farYou know you came this close""Close but no cigarWe're better off by farBut you know we came this closeClose but no cigar" |
