I'll Never Let You Go

Do you ever think of us
And wonder what went wrong
Are you in anothers arms
But feel you don’t belong

Was I someone special
Am I ever on your mind
Am I in your memories still
Or was I left behind

We almost had it all
I thought we’d make it all the way
But someone else’s hold on you
Just wouldn’t let you stay

I was never meant to lose you but
You were never mine to keep 
Memories and dreams of you 
Invade me when I sleep

You were everything I wanted
But never mine to claim 
Still I whisper in the dark 
Still calling out your name

I was the other woman
Always waiting by the phone
The one who always had to hide
Who spent her nights alone

My time with you was not enough
But still I can’t forget
For you will always be the love
I never will regret

Sometimes I still cry
For wondering where we went so wrong
But still I have this dream of you and I
That keeps me strong

That we share one more precious day
The way we used to know
And when I hold you in my arms
I’ll never let you go

And if this never happens
If my dream does not come true
These words I’ve never spoken
I now want to say to you

You’ll always be the one thing in my life
That was so real
I loved you then, I love you now
And I know I always will.
