Close But No Cigar

You came close

Close but no cigar

You didn't miss by far

You know you came this close

Close but no cigar


Some people sing love songs

Everybody's got one

This isn't my love song

It's more like my love gone wrong song...


She came to breakfast

And stayed a week

But the lie detectors

Broke down each time she tried to speak

Broke down when she said :


You came close

Close but no cigar

You didn't miss by far

You know you came this close

Close but no cigar

No matter where you are

You know you came this close

Close but no cigar


I remember - I remember - I remember

The promise in your eyes

As black as the night I drove you to the airport


And I remember - I remember - I remember

The wide Brazillian sky that swallowed you


Then I hit thirty

Guess I can't complain

But I must have been lonely

The night I bumped into Lorraine

She came for coffee

And stayed all night

But the lie detectors

Broke down every time I tried to smile

Broke down like the story of my life

And each dream I missed by half a mile

Broke down when I told her:


You came close

close but no cigar

You didn't miss by far

You know you came this close

close but no cigar

No matter where you are

You know you came so close

Close but no cigar

You didn't miss by far

You know you came this close

Close but no cigar

We're better off by far

But you know we came this close

Close but no cigar
