So long now
chasing everything thats new
I have forgotten how I got here
i have not forgotten you
were just children with our eyes opening
you were all that i could see
you came close enough to know my heart beat but
still not close enough for me
through the good times and the bad
you were the best I never had
the only chance I wish I had to take
there was no writing on the wall
no warning signs to follow
knowing now and I just cant forget
youre the best I never had
in this motel
will pass midnight
when Im bluer than a bruise
and you come drifting in through the half light
in your funny yellow shoes
and I hope thats you standing at my doorway
thats the scratchin of your key
and I hope this song im singing
someday finds you
my letter to Elise
through the good times and the bad
you were the best I never had
the only chance I wish I had to take
there was no writing on the wall
no warning signs to follow
knowing now and I just cant forget
youre the best I never had
