It's a Story Never Told

It's a story never told

Yes, the mem'ry fades, of what happened next
when the bottles empty
It's a scary thing, when the mem'ry comes
it's a story never told

Life was easy then, not a care was found
when the bottles empty
She was beautiful, they were all alone
it's a story never told

It was paradise, how it felt that night
but the bottles empty
It was dark outside, as the snow came down
it's a story never told

Chorus

He never saw the curve in the road
he never saw all the lights glaring
if only he could remember
it's a story never told
it's a story never told


So much time has gone, since that tragic day
the bottle still lies empty
he hasn't touched a drop, but it can't help now
there's a young girl, 
who won't 
grow 
old
there's a young girl 
who won't 
grow 
old

chorus repeat twice
fade
