Lyrics
WE LET IT SLIP AWAY
our love was good,
but it's like icecream in the sun
it melts away
and now I wish
we'd been more careful
I wish you'd stay
hold me tight,
life's too short for cryin'
it's not right
why did WE LET IT SLIP AWAY?
OO OO WE LET IT SLIP AWAY
our love was good,
but it's so hard to keep on tryin'
every day
but now we find,
we've gotta face up to the day
anyway
turn off the lights,
now I can see your face
and I've just seen,
what could have made me happy
WE LET IT SLIP AWAY?
OO OO WE LET IT SLIP AWAY
