Wouldn't you know it I've lost my courage 
Isn't that funny  me lost for words 
Not that it really matters  'cause I know you know 
And you would have told me yourself if you could 

Remember the first time  we met each other 
You were in your world and I was in mine 
Breaking down the barriers  we broke all the rules 
But wasn't it good  wasn't it fine 

While I took for granted, you took your time 
Longing for love oh how we tried 
It's over now that's understood, but wasn't it good 

So long together, two would be lovers 
Caring for flowers that just wouldn't grow 
And in all of our tomorrows, we'll have yesterday 
And wasn't it good, wasn't it fine 

While I took for granted, you took your time 
Longing for love, oh how we tried 
It's over now that's understood 

But wasn't it good
