If I Never, Ever Saw You Again

The question that you never asked demanded no reply

To be there was the truth, to say it was the lie

And grateful was the giver for the gift of you and I

So be thankful for a reason to complain

That it's all been left behind

And I know I wouldn't mind

If I never ever saw you again

Think of everything we said, were our words of wisdom new?

Had we spoken them before to the very special few?

Were there tongue-tied secrets all of what was left we wished was true

When I couldn't find the way to explain?

And you thought I wasn't kind

When I said I wouldn't mind

If I never ever saw you again

In another time and place, would we have more to share

Than the memory that is so long gone it was never really there?

In the cool clear light of day do we know how much we care

For the shadows of the night that remain?

And perhaps I think you'll find

That you wouldn't really mind

If I never ever saw you again
