[verse 1

Could it be she fell from grace

Why'd she land so far away

Couldn't she have dropped into my arms?

I couldn't see beyond her face

My heart and soul got in the way

Never treasured photographs, my love

[pre-chorus

But if you should cry

If you should shed a tear

And if you should cry

Remember me, I didn't disappear

[chorus

Sometimes you know

Just what you've got, before it goes

Sometimes the words

Just ain't there, when you need them to say

The words to persuade her to stay

To stop her slipping away

'Cause sometimes you know what you've got

Before she's gone

(before she's gone}

[verse 2

Not even a photo remains

Not even a goodbye kiss

And I can't take my heart home alone

They say that life is a game

Sometimes a hit, more often a miss

How long before the heart turns to stone?

[pre-chorus

But if you should cry

If you should shed a tear

And if you should cry

Remember me, I didn't disappear

[chorus

Sometimes you know

Just what you've got, before it goes

Sometimes the words

Just ain't there, when you need them to say

The words to persuade her to stay

To stop her slipping away

'Cause sometimes you know what you've got

Before she's gone

(before she's gone}

[pre-chorus

But if you should cry

If you should shed a tear

And if you should cry

Remember me, I didn't disappear

[chorus

Sometimes you know

Just what you've got, before it goes

Sometimes the words

Just ain't there, when you need them to say

The words to persuade her to stay

To stop her slipping away

'Cause sometimes you know what you've got

Before she's gone

(before she's gone}
