The Kind of Love You Never Recover From - Christine Lavin

I know a couple she sits in a rocking chair

Working puzzles he watches TV upstairs

She's got a secret she has never let out

A man she thinks he never knew about

She hasn't seen him in thirty years

The mention of his name doesn't bring on tears

If you ask her are there any regrets

She'll tell you no but she never forgets

It was the kind of love you never recover from

Even though she found another one

To take his place

She never will escape the truth

At times like this when the moon is right

When the air is foggy like it is tonight

She'll think about what might have been

If she had just held on to him

I know a man who has done it all

He has sailed the oceans climbed the mountains of nepal

He lives high upon the avenue

With a beautiful wife lovely children too

But there's a woman he still dreams about

Certain things he has learned to live without

If you ask him are there any regrets

He'll tell you no but he never forgets

It was the kind of love you never recover from

Even though he found another one

To take her place

He never will escape the truth

At times like this when the moon is right

When the air is foggy like it is tonight

He'll think about what might have been

If he had not let her slip away from him

I read about a woman who said she never regretted anything she'd ever done

Such arrogant words always seem to be spoken by those who then die young

So here am I looking at you

Oh tell me what are we gonna do

Am I destined to be your regret

Are you that one I'll never forget

Years from now will we curse the day

You let me let you walk away

Isn't this too dear a price to pay

For the freedom of going separate ways

This is the kind of love you never recover from

Don't tell me that I'm gonna find another one

To take your place

I never will escape the truth

At times like this when the moon is right

When the air is foggy like it is tonight

I'll think how sweet life could be

If you would stay with me oh stay with me

This is the kind of love you never recover from

Don't tell me that I'm gonna find another one

To take your place

And try to face the truth

Let me hold you close tonight

The fog has lifted the moon is so bright

Think how sweet life could be

If you would stay with me oh stay with me

This is the kind of love you never recover from

This is the kind of love you never recover from
