Story Behind the Song
It seems everyone has at least one relationship in their past that involved moments of true passion and connection and yet, somehow just wasn't meant to be. She came and went one magic summer and for awhile it seemed neither of us could imagine anyone else in our lives. But none of our friends could see us together, and in the end they were right. I wonder what ever became of her. Strange to think she'll never know this song is about her.
Lyrics
Been out all night a walking, Babe, I haven't slept for days
I guess we both know it's coming to an end
I've wondered if you're coming home each time you've gone away
Now, I guess you won't be coming back again.
Chorus
And we never meant to hurt each other or to let the loving die
But Babe, we never worked to make it stay
So it's time to go, now, there's only time for one more last good-bye
And the love that's left when the hurting's gone away.
Oooh...the fights were endless, Babe, and oooh...our friends were right
They said you and I were never meant to be
But oooh!...the times you loved me softly somewhere in the night
Now I guess that shouldn't matter much to me.
Chorus
But someday, when they're about to lay this tired old body down
And the road I'm riding takes the final turn
I'll still remember, you're the best this poor heart ever found
I'll still love you more than you could ever learn.
Just one last chance to tell you, Babe, now one more thing to say
Then I'll pack my bags and head on out the door
For all our ups and downs, the feelings just won't fade away
And despite the pain, I couldn't love you more.
Chorus
And someday, when they're about to lay this tired old body down
And this old road has nowhere left to go
I'll still remember, you're the best this poor heart ever found
I'll still love you more than you could ever know.
