[Intro]

[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 strolled away
While it still was light and gay
But now here's that rainy day

[Pre-Chorus]
If we held back a bit
Every time we embraced
We'd have saved some of it
[Chorus]
If we just walked, instead of raced
And just made love, instead of haste
That lovely love would never have gone to waste

[Pre-Chorus]
If we held back a bit
Every time we embraced
We'd have saved some of it

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