So long now
chasing everything that’s new
I have forgotten how I got here
i have not forgotten you
we’re just children with our eyes opening
you were all that i could see
you came close enough to know my heart beat but
still not close enough for me
through the good times and the bad
you were the best I never had
the only chance I wish I had to take
there was no writing on the wall
no warning signs to follow
knowing now and I just cant forget
you’re the best I never had
in this motel
will pass midnight
when I’m bluer than a bruise
and you come drifting in through the half light
in your funny yellow shoes
and I hope that’s you standing at my doorway
that’s the scratchin of your key
and I hope this song i’m singing
someday finds you
my letter to Elise
through the good times and the bad
you were the best I never had
the only chance I wish I had to take
there was no writing on the wall
no warning signs to follow
knowing now and I just cant forget
you’re the best I never had
