Close but no cigar I nearly won her heart I got so close but then my whole world Fell apart I thought we were in love We came so far Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar Last night I kissed her lips Just like before But it was in her eyes She wanted something more I never said the words I love you Almost had it all But I dropped the ball And she walked right out the door Close but no cigar I nearly won her heart I got so close but then my whole world Fell apart I thought we were in love We came so far Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar I had to live without What might have been He made his play Now she's with him I'll bet he tells her that he loves her Well heaven knows That I came this close But I won't have that chance again Close but no cigar.....
