The Nat “King” Cole Trio
I Never Had A Chance

I never had a chance
I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance

I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance

I knew we had to part
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart

My dream of our romance
Ended in a friendly chat
But more than that
I never had a chance

[Instrumental Break]

My dream of our romance
Ended in a friendly chat
But more than that
I never had a chance
