Christine Lavin - The Kind Of Love You Never Recover From lyrics

I know a couple, she sits in a rocking chair Working puzzles, He watches TV upstairs She's got a secret she has never let out A man she thinks he never knew about She hasn't seen him in 30 years The mention of his name does not bring on tears If you ask her "Are there any regrets?" She'll tell you 'no' But she never forgets It was the kind of love you never recover from Even though she found another one To take his place She never will escape the truth At times like this when the moon is right When the air is foggy like it is tonight She'll think about what might have been If she had just held on to him I know a man who has done it all Sailed the oceans climbed the mountains of Nepal He lives high up on the Avenue With a beautiful wife, lovely children too But there's a woman he still dreams about Certain things he's learned to live without If you ask him "Are there any regrets?" He'll tell you 'no' But he never forgets It was the kind of love you never recover from Even though he found another one To take her place He never will escape the truth At times like this when the moon is right When the air is foggy like it is tonight He'll think about what might have been If he had not let her Slip away from him I read about a woman who said She never regretted Anything she'd ever done Such arrogant words always seem to be spoken By those who then die young So here am I looking at you Oh tell me what are we gonna do? Am I destined to be a regret? Are you that one I will never forget Years from now will we curse the day You let me let you walk away Oh isn't this too dear a price to pay For the freedom of going separate ways? This is the kind of love you never recover from Don't tell me I'm gonna find another one To take your place I never will escape the truth At times like this when the moon is right When the air is foggy like it is tonight I'll think how sweet life could be If you would stay with me Oh stay with me This is the kind of love you never recover from Don't tell me I gonna find another one To take your place Try and face the truth Let me hold you close tonight The fog has lifted the moon is so bright Think how sweet life could be If you would stay with me Oh stay with me This is the kind of love you never recover from This is the kind of love you never recover from
