I Never Had a Chance - Mel Torme

I never had a chance

I thought you cared for me

But now I see I never had a chance

I never had a chance

Though you never told me so

Somehow I know I never had a chance

I knew we’d have to part

For I could always reach your lips

But I could never reach your heart

My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat

But more than that I never had a chance

I guess there’s nothing to do and nothing to say

But simply go on my way and call it a day

I guess I’m ready to go right back on my shelf

Because at last, I’ve learned, where you’re concerned

I’ve just been fooling myself

I never had a chance

Though you never told me so

Somehow I know I never had a chance

My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat

But more than that I never had a chance

Never had a chance
