we were a flower that never reach full bloom we never gave our love much chance to grow even though the feeling was wonderful we went on our separate ways and all we know it s what we share is more than most chorus cause we came all so very close to love but we let it slip away i always wondered why you never chose to stay so close to love sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday i find myself dreaming of how we came all so very close to love i always remember the way you care for me time after time my life was in despair yet somehow i always knew you ll be right there at times i did not have a prayer i m sure that you and i both know chorus that we came all so very close to love but we let it slip away i always wondered why you never chose to stay so close to love sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday and i think i had a lover and we came all so very close to love bridge how can i face the fact it s over we re through i can t believe it s true when i m alone sometimes i wonder if you knew how much i care for you so i m hanging on to the memories how hard you make sweet love to me and it s so hard to let it go chrous when we came all so very close to love but we let it slip away i always wondered why you never chose to stay so close to love sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday i find myself dreaming of how we came all so very close to love we let it slip away i always wonder why you never chose to chose to stay so close to love sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday i find myself dreaming i find myself dreaming of your love yeah so close so very close to your love
