Close but no cigar
I nearly won her heart
I got so close but then my whole world
Fell apart
I thought we were in love
We came so far
Now she's with someone else not me
Close but no cigar
Last night I kissed her lips
Just like before
But it was in her eyes
She wanted something more
I never said the words I love you
Almost had it all
But I dropped the ball
And she walked right out the door
Close but no cigar
I nearly won her heart
I got so close but then my whole world
Fell apart
I thought we were in love
We came so far
Now she's with someone else not me
Close but no cigar
I had to live without
What might have been
He made his play
Now she's with him
I'll bet he tells her that he loves her
Well heaven knows
That I came this close
But I won't have that chance again
Close but no cigar.....
