Never Too Close Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
I remember when best friends were jealous lovers
Lyin' warm asleep beneath the covers
Dreaming of belonging to each other

[Chorus]
And so we tried, never too close
Never too near, dyin' in time
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm

[Verse 2]
I remember when best friends were not mistaken
Long before that freedom was forsaken
Learnin' about all the good things in the world worth believin'

[Chorus]
And so we tried, never too close
Never too near, dyin' in time
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm

[Verse 3]
I remember when jealous lovers would stick together
When the days were warm and the nights more tender
When the bonds of truth were not made to measure
