THE BEST GIRLFRIEND I NEVER HAD

You took my world and made it smile, If only for a time
You told me from the outset that you could not be mine
But I hoped you’d stay if given space and time.
Here’s to the best girlfriend I never had.

You picked me off the road and slowly nursed me back to life
You warmed me with your body through the darkness of the night
Now I’m healed and you’ve walked out of my life
Here’s to the best girlfriend I never had

I always knew that this time my heart was on the line
I tried not to think of it and just enjoy my time
Now you’re back with him it’s just a crime.
Now you will not be mine.

You’re better off alone than with someone who brings you pain
I say that ‘cos it’s true and because I hope to gain
More time with you while you attempt the change.
Here’s to the best girlfriend I never had

There are so many places my head doesn’t want to go.
Are you with the other man and, if so, would you tell me so.
If it’s all the same to you I’d better go
Here’s, to the best girlfriend I never had
