A Matter of Love

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
Oooh Matter of Love
Oooh a Matter of Love
