It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow with
no surprise
Then one morning I woke to
realize
We had a good thing going
It's not that nothing went wrong
Some angry moments, of course,
but just a few
And only moments, no more,
because we knew
We had a good thing going
And if I wanted too much, was
that such a mistake at the time?
You never wanted enough, OK,
tough, I don't make that a crime
And while it's going along
You take for granted some love
will wear away
We took for granted a lot and
still I say
"It could have kept on
growing instead of just kept on"
We had a good thing going,
going, gone
