The Million Things That Never Happened

Two lovers meet in the park Friends bond over drinks after dark A walk on a beach, so far, out of reach And the million things that never happened at all A last Christmas at the old place A convivial chat face to face The expectant delight of a Saturday night And the million things that never happened at all A wedding day planned for so long The right moment to sing the right song That significant date that you should celebrate And the million things that never happened at all A father present at a birth A grandmother hears a first word A hug for the cryin', a kiss for the dyin' And the million things that never happened at all
