[CHARLEY]
It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow
With no surprise
And then one morning I woke
To realize
We had a good thing going

It's not that nothing went wrong:
Some angry moments, of course
But just a few
And only moments, no more
Because we knew
We had this good thing going

And if I wanted too much
Was that such
A mistake
At the time?
You never wanted enough—
All right, tough
I don't make
That a crime

And while it's going along
You take for granted some love
Will wear away
We took for granted a lot
But still I say:
It could havе kept on growing
Instead of just kept on
Wе had a good thing going
Going
Gone
