I wish I could have met you   In a year or two   Ah, maybe then you could have seen me   What I saw in you      On the day we met   You were still trying to forget someone   You used to know   And there just wasn't enough time   Between her goodbye and my hello      Boy, I want to try for a while   But I could always see   A place I can fill   To love for a memory      'Cos at the mention of her name   I could still see the flame burning   Soft and low   And there just wasn't enough time   Between her goodbye and my hello      Oh, time is the healer, I want you to know   Especially those heartbreaking kind   Lord, it looks like I just came along too soon   'Cos she still takes up too much of your mind      If I pass that on, it cost on a later day   I know we could have made it, baby   We're almost fading it away      But you weren't completely free   'Cos someone else's memory   Just wouldn't let you go   And there just wasn't enough time   Between her goodbye      In between her goodbye and my hello   In between her goodbye and my hello   In between her goodbye and my hello   In between her goodbye and my hello   In between her goodbye and my hello      Baby, all we needed was a little more time   I needed that time to build the thing and make you mine
