Oh as far- as far as I remember

You've been here- walking next to me

Just a friend- I thought was all I needed

Now I realise what a fool I've been

Here I am- the greatest of pretenders

Always looking- but too afraid to see

That this feeling going on inside me

Is a love that was always meant to be

God I wish I was your lover

Why did I have to wait

Guess I'll always be the lover too late

Chorus

Every time I see you

I'm aching- I'm breaking

If only I could tell you

You're more than a friend

If only I could show you

I love you forever

We'd never be apart

I could be the angel of your heart

There you go- leaving with another

Days without you- so hard to contemplate

If I count every lonely waking hour

Will I always be the lover too late

Chorus

God I wish I was your lover

Why did I have to wait

Guess I'll always be the lover too late

Every time…

Chorus to fade
