You've been good, I've been good too
But it's good to see you
Second thoughts are sometimes best thoughts left unsaid
And so I'll press my lips to my fingertip and say

"Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame?
To know we could be lovers, if a few things changed? "
In the face of the light, we'll go our separate ways

Another time, another place
I might have stayed here with you
In the shade beneath the magnolia tree today

Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame?
To know we could be lovers, if a few things changed
In the face of the light, we'll go our separate ways

Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame?
When you come to know the difference
Between someone who can change
And someone who says they will
But still stays stuck in their ways
