But I Never Even Got to Kiss You

The table was set with the simplicity of your life.
We sat and we chatted like nothing was strange.
Then she dropped the bomb like the air we were breathing
And it took the last beat of my heart away

I never even wanted to know you,
Know you the way I wanted to
And now that you're leaving town
And I'll have to live with the moment
The last time you said goodbye
The last time I got to try
The only thing I ever knew how to do
And I never even got to kiss you...

We talked for hours on the radio dial
You sang, I listened and we stayed a while
If there was ever a moment of doubt,
It certainly wasn't now.

I played out  my heartstrings
Just to hear how you would sing
And you felt each note as they moved along
Like I made the words to your song...

I never even wanted to know you,
Know you the way I wanted to
And now that you're leaving town
And I'll have to live with the moment
The last time you said goodbye
The last time I got to try
The only thing I ever knew how to do
But, I never even got to kiss you...

And now your gone
The leaving should have been the hardest part
But your absence in my reality
Is nothing compared to what's missing in my heart

NOW BABY,

I never wanted you to know
The way I wanted you to know
The only time I'll get to try
The only time we'll say goodbye

What it is I couldn't do
To find the tune of love in you
And after all was said and it was through
I never even, not ever even
Not in a moment or two
I never even got to kiss you...
