all that love went to waste

we were close to it all

caught the rainbows we chased

then we watched the sky fall

all that love went to waste

what we had was the end

it could not be erased

that's the pity

my friend

all that love went to waste

if we only could have guessed

that it couldn't stand the test

we'd have played it all for jest

and have been each other's guest

we'd have smiled and strolled away

while it still was light and gay

but now here's that rainy day

if we held back a bit

every time we embraced

we'd have saved some of it

if we just walked

instead of raced

and just made love

instead of haste

that lovely love would never have gone to waste

if we held back a bit

every time we embraced

we'd have saved some of it

if we just walked

instead of raced

and just made love

instead of haste

that lovely love would never have gone to waste

that lovely love would never have gone to waste
