When she came my way\t\t\t\t

my heart leaped up and prepared to live\t\t

the best part of the day\t\t\t\t

in a sort of wait\t\t\t\t\t

while all the rest was just a blur\t\t\t

I couldn't concentrate\t\t\t\t\t

'cause all my thoughts were turned to her \t\t

I'd feelings to convey\t\t\t\t\t

but the moments passed\t\t\t\t

with still a million things to say\t\t\t

we were not meant to be as one\t\t\t

so it was all over before it began\t\t\t

oh, I could feel my guts clenching\t\t\t

while she turned around and walked home\t\t

then she came my way\t\t\t\t

a sudden change in her attitude\t\t\t

my whole world turned to grey\t\t\t

what a quirk of fate\t\t\t\t\t

all my hopes vanished in a blur\t\t\t

I couldn't concentrate\t\t\t\t\t

yet all my thoughts were turned to her \t\t

I'd feelings to convey\t\t\t\t\t

but the moments passed\t\t\t\t

and there was nothing more to say\t\t\t

we were not meant to be as one\t\t\t

so it was all over before it began\t\t\t

oh, all my dreams torn to pieces\t\t\t

they were all so vivid and real\t\t\t

she had a hold on my soul\t\t\t\t

and she seemed to know it well\t\t\t

who knows what was her goal\t\t\t

she had a hold on my heart\t\t\t\t

and she seemed to know it quite well\t\t

we were not meant to be as one\t\t\t

so it was all over before it began\t\t\t

oh, I could feel my guts clenching\t\t\t

while she turned and walked away\t\t\t

no, we were not meant to be as one\t\t\t

so it was all over before it began\t\t\t

oh, all my dreams torn to pieces\t\t\t

they were all so vivid and real
