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
