It's a Shame

The time has come, there is no second chance We? ve been drifting on an empty aching sea You were the girl I never knew I wanted I was the boy you hoped you? d never see And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers We could have been somethin? so big and grand Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand Been burnin? up the hours, talkin? to the midnight Just dreamin? of ways I could hold you next to me But maybe it just wasn? t meant, all things have a reason Maybe our hearts were just to careless and free And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers We could have been somethin? so big and grand Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand There was a time, when you would have had me There was a time I could have had you But it? s too late, another path has come and gone again I'm at the back door with a broken window view thinkin? And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers We could have been somethin? so big and grand Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand I'm tired of writin? but I can? t put down my pen It? s too late now to talk or turn back So just hold on, cause baby, here we go again Headin? the wrong way down that one way track And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers We could have been somethin? so big and grand Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand
