You`re the Best I`ve Never Had — текст песни (Conway Twitty)

At seventeen, in faded jeans
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.

After knowing you, love`s been nothing new
I`ve had it good, and I`ve had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You`re the best I never had.

A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.

I never let it show, ah, I should`ve let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin` back, I`ve learned, with every bridge I`ve burned
You`re the best I never had.

The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you`ll always be a haunting mystery
You`re the best I never had.

And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You`re the best I never had...
