It started out like a song
 We started quiet and slow
 With no surprise
 And then one morning I woke
 To realize
 We had a good thing going
 It's not that nothing went wrong:
 Some angry moments, of course
 But just a few
 And only moments, no more
 Because we knew
 We had this good thing going
 And if I wanted too much
 Was that such
 A mistake
 At the time?
 You never wanted enough—
 All right, tough
 I don't make
 That a crime
 And while it's going along
 You take for granted some love
 Will wear away
 We took for granted a lot
 But still I say:
 It could have kept on growing
 Instead of just kept on
 We had a good thing going
 Going, gone
