Doomed From The Start Lyrics

When I think of you now girl

As I stare out into the moonlight

I recall how it danced on the water back then

When I fell in love on that fateful night

I remember all of our gentle laughter

On days flowing by so slow-pace

I remember sunshine in your eyes

And the warm glow of your face

When my mind travels back there

I remember your spirit so bright

It's no wonder at all

Everything then seemed just so right

Your spirit was a miracle

Something startling and new

I felt the earth move deep within me

When I gave my whole heart to you

So much has gone by now

You just turned my soul inside out

For a while I lost all confidence,

And I struggled with doubt

I gave you my best girl

In the end you just broke my heart

I wish it all turned out differently

But your love was only half-given, we were doomed from the start

As I lay here tonight looking up

Into the endless expanse of the sky

I think of you gone but not forgotten

And I can only ask why

But I'll carry on girl

To myself I will stay true

To the best still inside me,

The best I tried to give you

I gave you my best girl

In the end you just broke my heart

I wish it all turned out differently

But your love was only half-given, we were doomed from the start
