(John Farrar) We never really had the chance to let each other know We never really had the time to let our feelings show Small talk kept us going When the only words to say Were how I long to hold you Pride locked the words away I never had the confidence to think that you could care I never looked into your eyes to see if love was there I talked it over with myself and silently agreed Your heart was in a high place unreachable to me I waited too long for a sign from you Reached for a line that you never threw Small talk and pride kept us from getting together Now there's never a day you're not on my mind Saying the words we could never find Small talk and pride took you from my life forever I'll never hold the cards again To win a love so real I know I'd gamble everything But Mistress Fate won't deal I just have to be content to learn by my mistakes Our hearts were just a breath away Now they're far enough to break I waited too long for a sign from you Reached for a line that you never threw Small talk and pride kept us from getting together Now there's never a day you're not on my mind Saying the words we could never find Small talk and pride took you from my life forever
