Eric Woolfson - Halfway lyrics

From time to time I think about him

I remember as though it was yesterday

Though many t/years have come between us

And he's probably a million miles away

And sometimes in the night I start remembering

Those half forgotten words he used to say

It's funny how it all keeps coming back to me

But what's the use pretending that he'd never gone away

And halfway through the night I start imagining

Those wild and crazy games we used to play

The laugh I miss so much

The tender loving touch

That always seems to end halfway

And then I pull myself together

And I think why should he matter anyway

And so I pick up all the pieces

And I try to live my life from day to day

Those letters that I always meant to throw away

But somehow I could never fine the time

The cobwebs I just couldn't seem to blow away

Are little things like mountains I can never seem to climb

And halfway through the night

I start remembering

Those tender words that took my breath away

The song was incomplete

The wine was bittersweet

For lives that couldn't meet halfway

Then halfway through the night I start imagining

No matter who was right or who was wrong

The feeling that he might not be so very far away

Still holds a fascination like an old familiar song

And halfway through the night

I start remembering

That what we had was just a caberet

A game of let's pretend

A stranger for a friend

A love that had to end halfway
