Never Too Close Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I remember when best friends were jealous lovers 

Lyin' warm asleep beneath the covers, dreaming of belonging to each other 

And so we tried, never too close, never too near, dyin' in time 

And so we cried, but that is alright, we meant no one no harm 

I remember when best friends were not mistaken 

Long before that freedom was forsaken 

Learnin' about all the good things in the world worth believin' 

And so we tried, never too close, never too near, dyin' in time 

And 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 

And so we tried, never too close, never too near, dyin' in time 

And so we cried, but that is alright, we meant no one no harm 

Try, try as you will 

Following dreams never fulfilled 

And so we cried but that is alright 

We meant no one no harm
