New Years Eve

I once loved a woman maybe I never knew
It was just a few times that we met
But she made her mark, a line across my heart
I know now that she was dear to me

You know youll forget me she told me with a smile
I just laughed and told her she was wrong
The stars were in her eyes and she looked so alive
When I held her had in mine that evening

I guess I know my heart a little better now
Its easier to see my mistake
The road I never took, like an unopened book
The chance that slipped away under the moonlight

I saw her again one rain swept New Years Eve
In a crowd another on her arm
I was standing there, all I could do was stare
The way she looked away I still remember
