If I had a nickle
|
For every nickle I've had
|
I'd be rich now
|
But they tempt and they tickle
|
They trickle right out of my hands
|
Like love somehow
|
I think of the hearache, the pain, and the cost
|
The friends and the fortunes I've gained and I've lost
|
|
But I never lost you
|
No, I never lost you
|
I don't know how I've managed to hold on to
|
Something so true
|
But I never lost you
|
|
Some things were stolen
|
Others were simply misplaced
|
And unrecovered
|
Like undying loyalty
|
Conviction and truth and faith
|
In another
|
I just keep letting it go til it's gone
|
Til all I have left is the one who held on
|
|
But I never lost you
|
No, I never lost you
|
Lost everything else, I even lost myself
|
A time or two
|
But I never lost you
|
|
But I never lost you
|
No, I never lost you
|
I don't know how I've managed to hold on to
|
Something so true
|
But I never lost you
|

I Never Lost You
