If I Never, Ever Saw You Again

The question that you never asked demanded no reply To be there was the truth, to say it was the lie And grateful was the giver for the gift of you and I So be thankful for a reason to complain That it's all been left behind, and I know I wouldn't mind If I never, ever saw you again Think of everything we said, were our words of wisdom new Had we spoken them before to the very special few Well a tongue-tied secret's all of what is left we wished was true When I couldn't find a way to explain And you thought I wasn't kind when I said I wouldn't mind If I never, ever saw you again In another time and place would we have more to share Than the memory that is so long gone, it was never really there In the cool clear light of day, do we know how much we care For the shadows of the night that remain And perhaps I think you'll find that you wouldn't really mind If I never, ever saw you again
