The People That You Never Get To Love Lyrics - Singles - Rupert Holmes

You're browsing through a second hand bookstore 

And you see her in non-fiction V through Y 

She looks up from World War II 

And then you catch her, catching, you catching her eye 

And you quickly turn away your wishful stare 

And take a sudden interest in your shoes 

If you only had the courage but you don't 

She turns and leaves and you both lose 

And you think about 

The people that you never get to love 

It's not as if you even have the chance 

So many worth a second life 

But rarely do you get a second glance 

Until fate cuts in on your dance

And you'll see her on a train that you've just missed 

At a bus stop where your bus will never stop 

Or in a passing Buick 

When you've been pulled over by a traffic cop 

Or you'll share an elevator, just you two 

And you'll rise in total silence to the floor 

Like the fool you are, you get off 

And she leaves your life behind a closing door 

And you think about 

The people that you never get to love 

The poem you intended to begin 

The saddest words that anyone has ever said are 

'Lord, what might have been' 

But no one said you get to win

Still you're never gonna miss what you don't know 

And you don't know who you'll meet at half past three 

It could be a total stranger 

Who looks something just exactly much like me 

One of the people that you never get to love 

One of the people that you never get to love 

The people that you never get to love
