lyrics

At the Wrong Time
Music & Lyrics © Tony Cliff 2018

Verse 1
Saw you just the other day
Was a glimpse from far away
Long enough to bring memories flooding back
When we were just so young and free
And life gave us a golden key
Never knowing we’re on different tracks

Prechorus
Young love was so easy
It all fell into place
Making our home and lots of friends
Then we changed directions
It all became a race
You’re in trouble when you have to make amends

Chorus
Happy days didn’t have a dime
You’re the one made me feel so fine
We were the right boy and girl
But at the wrong time

Verse 2
Then we moved so far apart
Not a chance of a change of heart
Linking up, every other weekend
And when you found somebody new
I was hurt what could I do
I met someone too and that’s how it ends

Prechorus
We’ll always have those mem’ries
Of when we laughed and cried
Hope you’re happy with everything you need
And do you ever think back to
When were were side by side
Never knowing where it all might lead

Chorus
Happy days didn’t have a dime
You’re the one made me feel so fine
We were the right boy and girl
But at the wrong time
