I wish I had a record of the promises you made so that I could play it back to you. That record would remind you, once, you said love wouldn't fade and that you would never be untrue! What happened to that cottage of which we always spoke? Was it just a pipe dream that went up in smoke? I wish I had a record of how close you said we'd be so that I could play it back to you, and maybe you'd come back to me! What happened to that cottage of which we always spoke? Was it just a pipe dream that went up in smoke? I wish I had a record of how close you said we'd be so that I could play it back to you . . . and maybe you'd come back . . . to me!
