If I had nickel
For every nickel I've had
I'd be rich now
But they Tempt and they tickle

They trickle right out of my hands
Like love somehow
I think of the heartache, the pain,
and the cost
The friends and the fortunes I've gained
and I've lost
But I never lost you
No, I never lost you
I don't know how I've managed to hold onto
Something so true
But I never lost you
Some things were stolen
Others were simply misplaced
And unrecovered
Like undying loyalty
Conviction and trust and faith
In another
I just keep letting it go 'til it's gone
'Til all I have left is the one who held on
but I never lost you
No, I never lost you
Lost everything else, I even lost myself
A time or two
But I never lost you
But I never lost you
No, I never lost you
I don't know how I've managed to hold onto
Something so true
But I never lost you
