I'm just about glad that I knew you once

And it was more than just a passing acquaintance

I'm just about glad that it was a memory

That doesn't need constant maintenance

Now I've a few things that I regret

But nothing that I need to forget

For all of the courage that we never had

I'm just about glad



Chorus:

Just about glad

We didn't do that thing

Just about glad

We didn't have that fling

Just about glad

We didn't give it a try

Just about glad

Is that a tear in your eye



And all the few times I rang and proposed

There was a man there or so I suppose

The greatest lover that you never had

I'm just about glad



They call time in vodka and lime

It's far from Canadian Club

(Just about glad)

And there I was just waiting to fall

Like a toe just aching to stub

(Just about glad)

Later on I could never accept it

When you finally gave it all to him

(Just about glad)

And you said that my nurse was sweet

But her lamp was just beginning to dim



I'm just about glad that we never did

That thing that we were going to do

I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye

But I can't say the same for you

And though the passion still flutters and flickers

It never got into our knickers

For all of the courage that you never had

I'm just about, I'm just about

I'm just about, I'm just about



-chorus-



And it was all just a stupid creation

Of my feverish imagination

I'm the greatest lover that you never had

I'm just about, I'm just about

I'm just about, I'm just about



-chorus-

Is that a tear in your eye (x2)
