Never Had

I been gone for so long now

Chasin' everything that's new

And I've forgotten how I got here

I've not forgotten you

We were just children but our eyes opened and

You were all that I could see

You came close enough to know my heart beat but

Still not close enough for me

Through the good times and the bad, you were the best I never had

The only chance I wish I had to take

There was no writin' on the wall, no warnin' signs to follow

I know now and I just can't forget

You're the best I never had

And in this motel we'll pass midnight

When I'm bluer than a bruise

You come driftin' in through the half light

In your funny yellow shoes

I hope that's you standin' at my doorway

That's the scratchin' of your key

And I hope this song I'm singin' someday find you

My letter to Elise

Through the good times and the bad, you were the best I never had

The only chance I wish I had to take

There was no writin' on the wall, no warnin' signs to follow

I know now and I just can't forget

You're the best I never had

The best I never had

Best I never had
