Newton-John Olivia You Were Great, How Was I? lyrics

Newton-John Olivia
Soul Kiss
You Were Great, How Was I?
[duet with Carl Wilson]

I never learned, I came through the past, I find so much there to lean on
And when I get lucky, I can't even forget our now and forever's all gone

I know what you mean, I go there myself, when I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy, it's hard to believe, our now and forevers are gone

Chorus:
When did we lose our starry eyes, the feelin's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye

Now it's too late, love, you were great, how was I?

I'm doin' my best with somebody else, it's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget, our now and forever's all gone

(chorus)

Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now
Now it's too late, love, you were great, how was I?... (to fade)
