New Years Eve

I once loved a woman maybe I never knew

It was just a few times that we met

But she made her mark, a line across my heart

I know now that she was dear to me

You know you'll forget me she told me with a smile

I just laughed and told her she was wrong

The stars were in her eyes and she looked so alive

When I held her had in mine that evening

I guess I know my heart a little better now

It's easier to see my mistake

The road I never took, like an unopened book

The chance that slipped away under the moonlight

I saw her again one rain swept New Years Eve

In a crowd another on her arm

I was standing there, all I could do was stare

The way she looked away I still remember
