The Real Thing (Stayed Just Out Of Our Reach)

This time we got close girl
And at times I thought almost girl
We were awfully close to what true love should be
Then the going got too rough girl
And when neither gave enough girl
The real thing stayed just out of our reach

Too bad we'll never know girl
The feelings when love grows girl
And we'll never see the end of all our dreams
Too much has been said girl
That neither can forget girl
So the real things stay just out of our reach

The real thing is loving forever
Forgiving when things go wrong
We climb loves ladder right up to the top
But we could not hold on

Oh, our love failed the test girl
I wish you all the best girl
May the world lay love and roses at your feet
We learned from our mistakes girl
You gotta give as well as take girl
For the real thing stays just out of your reach
