Lyrics
I thought we were made just for one another
Thought that we had so much in common, dear
I found to my surprise
We didn’t harmonize
Now that we’re far apart, I realize
Refrain
Life could have been a melody
A sweet song of love for you and me
But you didn’t know the music
And I didn’t know the words
Whoever thought we’d be afraid
To blend in a tender serenade?
But you didn’t know the music
And I didn’t know the words
Had I made a lot of pretty speeches
Might have done some good
Nightingales above us tried to teach us
But we never understood
And our love affair turned out to be
Another unfinished symphony
For you didn’t know the music
And I didn’t know the words
Performance
