As Close As We’ll Ever Be
[Verse 1]
Once those two lips were true lips
They meant every word they said
But a woman has the right
To change her mind and you did

[Verse 2]
Was on a June night of moonlight
When you said you loved me
But that's as close as we will ever be

[Chorus]
That's as close as we will ever be
You took back the heart you gave me
Once we planned and we schemed
We talked and we dreamed
But that's as close as we will ever be

[Verse 3]
Yes we planned and we schemed
We talked and we dreamed
But that's as close as we will ever be
