|
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 close |
|
Close but no cigar |
|
You didn't miss by far |
|
You know you came this close" |
|
"Close but no cigar |
|
No matter where you are |
|
You know you came this close |
|
Close 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 Lorraine |
|
She 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 close |
|
Close but no cigar |
|
You didn't miss by far |
|
You know you came this close" |
|
"Close but no cigar |
|
No matter where you are |
|
You know you came so close" |
|
"Close but no cigar |
|
You didn't miss by far |
|
You know you came this close" |
|
"Close but no cigar |
|
We're better off by far |
|
But you know we came this close |
|
Close but no cigar" |
