Simple Song

Sometimes I think you're almost there

Sometimes I think you almost care

Enough to stay and say, "I love you"

Sometimes I think I hear your voice

And feel your body warm and nice

And maybe, then again, I cannot hear you



Oh, why did fortune pass me by

And turn the truth into a lie

I didn't want to hurt you any more



Sometimes when things go wrong I know

I'll sing this simple song I wrote

A song to bring you just a little nearer

But then the song will fade away

And I am too afraid to stay

To wait and hope the picture will get clearer



Oh, why did fortune pass me by

And turn the truth into a lie

I didn't want to hurt you any more



And maybe in a future land

I'll stop the world and make a stand

And start it once again for us together

And then the times that we had lost

And all the tears that turned to frost

Would melt and soothe the pain for one another



Oh why did fortune pass me by

And turn the truth into a lie

I didn't want to hurt you any more

I didn't want to hurt you any more
