"The Million Things That Never Happened" lyrics

"The Million Things That Never Happened"

Two lovers meet in the park
Friends bond over drinks after dark
A walk on a beach, so far out of reach
And the million things that never happened at all

A last Christmas at the old place
A convivial chat face to face
The expectant delight of a Saturday night
And the million things that never happened at all

A wedding day planned for so long
The right moment to sing the right song
That significant date that you should celebrate
And the million things that never happened at all

A father present at a birth
A grandmother hears a first word
A hug for the crying, a kiss for the dying
And the million things that never happened at all
