Words and music by Christopher Cross



It was good for me

It was good for you

Now nothing either of us can say or do

Can change the way you feel tonight

Sometimes love just slips out of sight



Just one thing before you go

Just one thing that you've got to know

No one will ever touch me that way

The way that you did that very first day



And I'll

Never be the same without you here

I'll live alone

Hide myself behind my tears

And I'll

Never be the same without your love

I'll live alone

Try so hard to rise above



The years go by

There's always someone new

To try and help me forget about you

Time and again it does me no good

Love never feels the way that it should



I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever

And even though I know we could never stay together

I think about how it could have been

If we could just start all over again



It was good for me

It was good for you

Now nothing either of us can say or do

Can change the way you feel today

Sometimes love just slips away
