Delbert McClinton-You Were Never Mine

 

 

 

I saw someone again today
Who remembered me and you

 
They asked all the same old questions
I gave the same excuse

They 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 really 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
