Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I could have had you for a lifetime,
But I waited a little too long.
I played the game,
But not very smart.
While I took your kisses someone took your heart.
I thought that I had done the right thing,
But I know now that I was so wrong.
I could have had you for a lifetime,
But I waited a little too long.
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
