Missed Opportunity

The first time that I saw you You passed me by that day I knew I wanted to talk to you But I didn’t know what to say So I turned around and walked a step; Or two, I still forget But I remember you my love The one I never met I could have seized the moment “Carpe Diem,” they would say Walk on over, say “Hello” Then my mind just went astray I woulda, coulda, shoulda Now I have this one regret I missed my one and only chance For the one I never met You lay in the empty space of My lonely queen size bed You care for our imaginary children Tuck them in and keep them fed You give me all the love I need I take all that I can get My love, there’s still this emptiness You’re the one I never met I’d love to love the one I dream of I’m forever in your debt You wake me with your morning lips From the dreams that I forget And if I had a second chance I know I won’t regret The first time that I talked to you The You I never met
