You Were Never Mine

I saw someone again today who remembered me and you They asked all the same old questions, I gave the same excuse They said, "What a shame, what a shame, to lose a love so fine" But I never lost you, I never lost you I never lost you, you were never mine I kept on believing what I wanted to believe The unspoken promises that you could never keep But it's a sin, oh, it's a sin to tell yourself a lie I never lost you, I never lost you I never lost you, you were never mine Did you give me all that you gave me just because I needed you But when I needed, all your love completely was it more than you could do Sometimes deep in the night when I hold you in my dreams I get lost in your loving touch, baby, I can't believe how real it seems And I know, yes I know, I'll have you till the end of time 'Cause I never lost you, I never really lost you I never lost you 'cause you were never mine I never lost you, I never really lost you How could I lose you, you were never mine --- You Were Never Mine - Delbert McClinton
