You Were Never Mine - Delbert McClinton

I saw someone again today

Who remembered me and you

They asked all the same old questions

I gave the same excuse

Thet said what a shame, what a shame

To lose a love so fine

But I never lost you, I never lost you

I never lost you, you were never mine

I kept on believing

What I wanted to believe

The unspoken promises

That you could never keep

But it’s a sin, oh it’s a sin

To tell yourself a lie

I never lost you, I never lost you

I never lost you, you were never mine

Did you give me all you gave me Just because I needed you

But when I needed all your love completely

Was it more than you could do Sometimes deep in the night

When I hold you in my dreams

I get lost in your loving touch, baby

I can’t believe how real it seems

And I know, yes I know

I’ll have you 'till the end of time

'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you

I never lost you 'cause you were never mine

I never lost you, I never really lost you

How could I lose you, you were never mine
