Lyrics

Diamond lane days, Babylon nights, the lap of fortune and fame
Room with a view, luncheon at two in a place with a fancy French name
Success is so demanding I let nothing bar the way
but I've reached new understanding of the price I have to pay
when I left you behind
and now you're not mine to have to hold and to love

I'm never alone I pick up the phone and call a companion or two
but nights on the town being chauffered around can't beat Sunday mornings with you
You asked me for a promise and a piece of every day
but keeping options open is a game I like to play
so I left you behind
and now you're not mine to have to hold and to love

You finally up and walked away
You had the sense to pack up all of your feelings and say goodbye
but even in our final hour the truth is you were only thinking of me
and so was I

You asked me for a promise and a piece of every day
but keeping options open is a game I like to play
so I left you behind
and now you're not mine to have to hold and to love
