Never Be the One

In my dreams and I’ve had a few when I’m wrapped up in your arms

It always seems I’ll wake up to a bed that’s long since warm

I’ll never be the one who looks at you when morning shines its light

I’ll only be the one who fades from view when in another’s sight

When I call you on the phone I treasure how you sound

When I want you for my own there’s others all around

I’ll never be the one who hears you call my name soft and low

I’ll only be the one whose footsteps fill the hall outside your door

If when all is said and done your new love won’t be true

Or if there’ll never be another one, I’ll be here for you

I’ll never be the one through winter’s cold to share the falling snow

I’ll only be the one you turn to when your heart is feeling low

I know I’ll never feel the trembled touch of true love in your soul

I’ll never be the only one for you and someday I’ll let go

Dream of me from time to time when restless nights awake

Memories of love less fine

Reveal a heart’s mistake
