Buenos Aires

When you left me by the river,

I watched the boats go by.

When I saw you turn and walk away,

I tried hard not to cry.

Now I won't let it go

'cause I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me,

and now we'll never know.

And for a moment then we were nearly there,

I let it go.

I wanted you to break away,

just to leave it all behind.

But you didn't know how to be that brave

to follow your own mind.

Now I won't let it go

'cause I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me,

and now we'll never know.

And for a moment then we were nearly there,

I let it go.

And if I had it all to do again,

then I would surely go.

And as you changed my mind on that fateful day,

I'd be yours.

Take me to Buenos Aires1.

Take me to Buenos Aires.

Take me to Buenos Aires.

I wanted you like you wanted me,

and now we'll never know.

And for a moment then we were nearly there,

I let it go.

And if I had it all to do again,

then I would surely go.

And as you changed my mind on that fateful day,

I'd be yours.

Yes, I wanted you like you wanted me,

and now we'll never know.

And for a moment then we were nearly there,

I let it go.

I let it go.
