You Were Never Mine : Janiva Magness

I saw someone again today
Who remembered me and you
They asked all the same old questions
I gave the same excuse
They said what a shame, what a shame
To lose a love so fine
But I never lost you
I never really lost you
I never lost you
You were never mine
I kept on believing
What I wanted to believe
The unspoken promises
Them that you could never keep
But it's a sin, oh, it's a sin to tell yourself a lie
But I never lost you
I never lost you
I never lost you
You were never mine
Did you give me all that you gave me
Just because, 'cause I needed you
But when I needed all your love completely
Was it more, more than you could do
Sometimes deep in the night
When I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby
I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, Lord, I know
I'll have you 'til the end of time
'Cause I never lost you
I never lost you
I never lost you
'Cause you were never mine
I never lost you
I never really lost you
How could I lose you
'Cause you were never mine
