Beth if there had been a girl like you around
Some time ago when I first had a dream or two
Perhaps I might not had my head down on the ground
Watching while the jealous moonlight beamed anew

Beth if only you had been the one I found
Instead of all those others that I tossed aside
Perhaps you might have worn another brighter crown
And the song would have gone on until the singer died

But life's not as you know it
I could have made a show of it, a go of it
If I had my chance to try

Oh, Beth if there could be a chance for us somehow
Nobody knows the magic I could weave in you
But in a world I've made a liar up till now
Sometimes I found myself almost believing you
