[Verse 1]
We were close to it all
Caught the rainbows we chased
Then we watched the sky fall
All that love went to waste

[Verse 2]
What we had was the end
It could not be erased
That's the pity, my friend
All that love went to waste

[Bridge]
If we only could have guessed
That it couldn't stand the test
We'd have played it all for jest
And have been each other's guest
We'd have smiled and strollеd away
While it still was light and gay
But now here's that rainy day

[Verse 3]
If wе held back a bit
Every time we embraced
Then we might have saved some of it
But all that love went to waste
[Bridge]
We'd have smiled and strolled away
While it still was light and gay
But now here's that rainy day
If we held back a bit
Every time we embraced
Then we might have saved some of it

[Chorus]
If we just walked, instead of raced
And just made love, instead of haste
That lovely love might never have gone to waste

[Outro]
That lovely love might never have gone to waste
That lovely love might never have gone to waste
