I know a couple
She sits in a rocking chair working puzzles
He watches TV upstairs
She's got a secret she has never let out
A man she thinks he never knew about
She hasn't seen him in 30 years
The mention of his name doesn't bring on tears
If you ask her, "Are there any regrets?"
She'll tell you, "No," but she never forgets
It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though she found another one to take his place
She never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is right
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
She'll think about what might have been
If she had just held on to him
I know a man who has done it all
He sailed the oceans, climbed the mountains of Nepal
He lives high up on the Avenue
With a beautiful wife, lovely children, too
But there's a woman he still dreams about
Certain things he's learned to live without
If you ask him, "Are there any regrets?"
He'll tell you, "No," but he never forgets
It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though he found another one to take her place
He never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is right
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
He'll think about what might have been
If he had not let her slip away from him
I read about a woman who said she never regretted anything she'd ever done
Such arrogant words only seem to be spoken by those who then die young
So, here am I, lookin' at you
Oh, tell me, what are we going to do?
Am I destined to be a regret? Are you that one I'll never forget?
Years from now, will we curse the day you let me let you walk away?
Isn't this too dear a price to pay for the freedom of going separate ways?
This is the kind of love you never recover from
Don't tell me that I'm gonna find another one to take your place
I never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is bright
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
I'll think how sweet life could be
If you would stay with me
Oh, stay with me
This is the kind of love you never recover from
Don't tell me that I'm gonna find another one to take your place
And try to face the truth
Let me hold you close tonight
The fog has lifted and the moon is so bright
Think how sweet life could be
If you would stay with me
Oh, stay with me
This is the kind of love you never recover from
This is the kind of love you never recover from
