Carl Wilson You Were Great, How Was I? song lyrics

I'll never learn, I cling to the past

I find so much there to lean on

But when I get lucky, I can even forget

Our now and forevers are gone

I know what you mean, I go there myself

When I feel the mood comin' on

It comes on so easy, it's hard to believe

Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes?

The feelin's too strong to compromise

Somethin' 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 slidin' to where I forget

Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes?

The feelin's too strong to compromise

Somethin' went wrong between hello and goodbye

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

Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now, oh now

It's too late, love you were great, how was I? How was I?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, love you were great, great

How was I? Love you were great, great, how was I?
