Good Thing Going (From "Merrily We Roll Along")

It started out like a song

We started quiet and slow with no surprise

And then one morning I woke to realize

We had a good thing going

It's not that nothing went wrong

Some angry moments, of course, but just a few

And only moments, no more, because we knew

We had this good thing going

And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake

At the time?

You never wanted enough, all right, tough, I don't make that a crime

And while it's going along

You take for granted some love will wear away

We took for granted a lot, and still I say

It could have kept on growing

Instead of just kept on

We had a good thing going

Going

Gone
