(Irving Berlin)
Lew Stone & His Band
For 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
