Manhattan had a satin glow
Reflected on your face
The night we met so long ago
It was a magic time and place
And sometimes when it's late at night
The dark skies fade to blue
The sweetness of your lips on mine
The taste of loving you

Guess I don't need any words to say goodbye to you
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
Sometimes still the longing can drive me mad
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
My only regret is all the love we're not making
'Cause you're the best that I've never had

'Cause you're the best that I've never had
'Cause you're the best that I've never had

Moments that we almost had
Never quite came true
And then I see your face above me
Again I think of you
The truth is just a moment
It's a fragile fleeting thing
Now it's here and then it's gone
It passes by like spring
Guess I don't need any words to say goodbye to you
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
Sometimes still the longing can drive me mad
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
My only regret is all the love that we're not making
'Cause you're the best that I've never had

Ooh
The best that I've never had

Love loves on forever
Even when it doesn't last
It's always out there in the air
In pieces of our past
So baby don't forget me
Never let my memory go
Remember how I smiled at you
And how I loved you so

My only regret is all the love that we're not making
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
I don't need the words to say goodbye to you
Bye bye
Bye bye
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
The best that I've never had
'Cause you're the best that I've never had
