Oh such a clear cut case The smile & the time & the place And the noise and the heat And the rush on that crowded street
No escape from a fine romance One more round one more passionate dance But our lives would change for good I'd go back there now if I could If only I could
A matter of love The shattered affair The scattering dreams, the clatter of loss The truth of despair
A matter of love A lesson for life The hurt that I caused as I watched you leave Not lover nor wife
I relive our tale every day What I didn't do, didn't say But I wanted maybe, not must If only I'd seen it was just A matter of love
Yes a matter of love The shattered affair The scattering dreams, the clatter of loss The truth I despair
A matter of love A lesson for life The hurt that I caused as I watched you leave Not lover nor wife
I'm looking back at us The way it should have been The things I should have seen But I let you leave me Let you leave me
I threw it all away And even though I knew How much I wanted you I wanted to hide from Being in love
I'm looking back at you The way it should have been The things I should have seen But I let you leave me Let you leave me
I threw it all away And even though I knew How much I wanted you I wanted to hide from All we've become
It's a matter of love The shattered affair The scattering dreams, the clatter of loss The truth I despair
It's a matter of love It's a lesson for life The hurt that I caused as I watched you leave Not lover nor wife
