I Lost You

Verse 1
We‘d been together for as long as I can remember
And every night I’d serenade you on my guitar
Then I went to Nashville and on a rainy night in September
I reached out and became a country star
I didn’t realise what had happened to me
Stars were in my eyes and I just couldn’t see , that

Chorus
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til you’ve lost it
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til you’ve lost it
Oh you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til you’ve lost it
And I lost you


Verse 2
Well I thought that I could have my pick of any girl in town
But I was so dumb I didn’t know which one to choose
So I picked the prettiest; a beauty queen who wore a crown
She was a winner but I was about to lose
My head was in the clouds as I passed you by
Now I’m alone, tryin’ not to cry and

Chorus

Bridge
I didn’t realise what had happened to me
Stars were in my eyes and I just couldn’t see , that

Chorus

End (repeat & fade out)
Ooh I lost you babe
Yeh I lost you babe
