Stephen Sondheim
It Wasn’t Meant to Happen
[Verse 1]
Well, my dear
Too bad
It wasn't meant to happen
No harm done—
How sad
It wasn't meant to happen
We had our little moment—
No, don't
Don't worry for me
I worry for you, dear
I want you to be
Happy...
Happy...

[Verse 2]
So my dear
Good night
It wasn't meant to happen
Pleasant dreams...
I'll write...
It wasn't meant to happen
The candle wick was wet
The Champagne was flat
The timing was wrong
A little regret
And that's that—
I’ll get along
[Bridge]
We'll both get along
I said, as I exited, smiling
No, I mean it's a shame
But there's no one to blame
And we'vе got to be strong
I said, as I thought of tomorrow—
No, it would have been fun
But it's over and donе
Now I really must run

[Verse 3]
Well, my dear
Take care
It wasn't meant to happen
Yes, I know—
Unfair
It wasn't meant to happen
I guess...
God bless...
It seems—
Sweet dreams
Good try...
Goodbye...
