never got a chance to tell you anything
before you went away
you left me tongue-tied and speechless
i was never sure just what i ought to say
you always said such crazy things
you never told me anything
it's the strangest thing

never got a chance to touch you
when i had the chance to touch you
never would've had the nerve
i was always much too much too shy
but now that you're not here with me
i make love to your memory
it's the strangest thing

i hope you never hear this
cause i know you'd only laugh
don't call me on the telephone
or send a photograph
i've got you so idealised
my memories don't match my eyes
it's the strangest thing...
