Dar Williams – The Kind Of Love You Never Recover From lyrics

I know a couple, she sits in a rocking chair
Working the puzzles, he watches TV upstairs
She's got a secret she has never let out
A man she thinks he never knew about

She hasn't seen him for thirty years
The mention of his name doesn't bring on tears
If you ask her, "Are there any regrets?"
She'll tell you, "No." but she never forgets

It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though she found someone else to take his place
She never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is bright
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
She thinks about what might have been
If she had just hanged on to him

I know a man who has done it all
He's sailed the ocean, climbed the mountains of Nepal
He lives high up on the avenue
With a beautiful wife, loving children too
But there's a woman he still dreams about
Certain things he's learned to live without
If you ask him, "Are there any regrets?"
He'll tell you, "No." but he never forgets

It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though he found another one to take her place
He never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is bright
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
Think about what might have been
If he had not let her slip away from him

I read about a woman who said she'd never regret
Anything she'd ever done
Such arrogant words always seem to be spoken by those who then die young

So here am I looking at you
Tell me what are we going to do
Am I destined to be your regret?
Are you the one I'll never forget?
Years from now will we rue the day
You let me let you walk away?
Isn't this to dear a price to pay
For the freedom of going separate ways?

This is the kind of love you never recover from
People tell me I'll find someone else to take your place
I never will escape the truth
At times like this when the moon is bright
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
Think how sweet life would be
If you would stay with me
Oh, stay with me

This is the kind of love you never recover from
Don't tell me I'll find someone else to take your place
And try to face the truth
Let me hold you close tonight
The fog is lifting and the moon is so bright
Think how sweet life could be
If you would stay with me
Oh, stay with me

This is the kind of love you never recover from
This is the kind of love you never recover from
