Janiva Magness : You Were Never Mine

I saw someone again today who remembered me and you
They asked all the same old questions, I gave the same excuse
They said "What a shame, what a shame, to lose a love so fine"
But I never lost you, I never lost you,
I never lost you, you were never mine.

I kept on believing what I wanted to believe
The unspoken promises that you could never keep
But it's a sin, oh, it's a sin to tell yourself a lie
I never lost you, I never lost you,
I never lost you, you were never mine.

Did you give all that you gave me just because I needed you
But when I needed all your love completely was it more than you could do
Sometimes deep in the night when I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby, I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, yes I know, I'll have you till the end of time

'Cause I never lost you, I never really lost you
I never lost you, 'cause you were never mine
I never lost you, I never really lost you
How could I lose you, you were never mine.
