Why did my heart never yearn before?
Flame after flame never burned before
He wasn't you
He wasn't you
Why did no arms seem like home before?
Why did my eyes always roam before?
What could I do?
He wasn't you
He wasn't you
And no vows ever chained me
No, he wasn't you
And goodbyes never pained me
Now I know why every hope always faded so fast
Only with you was I born to live
Only with you have I love to give
Love that for all of a lifetime will last
Why did champagne lose its year for me?
Love's haunting strain disappear for me?
What could I do?
He wasn't you
He wasn't you
And no vows ever chained me
No, he wasn't you
And goodbyes never pained me
Now I know why every hope always faded so fast
Only with you was I born to live
Only with you have I love to give
Love that for all of a lifetime, of a lifetime
Will last
