Never Too Close

Written by：Gordon Lightfoot/Lenny Waronker

I remember when best friends were jealous lovers

Lying warm asleep beneath the covers

Dreaming of belonging to each other

So we tried never too close never too near

Time and time

So we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

I remember when best friends were no mistaken

Long before that freedom was forsaken

Learning about all the good things

In the world worth believin

So we tried never too close never too near

Time in time

So we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

I remember when jealous lovers would stick together

When the days were warm and the nights more tender

When the bonds of truth were not made to measure

So we tried never too close never too near

Time in time

So we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

Try try as you will

Following dreams never fulfilled

So we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm
