If I had a 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 on to
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 on to
Something so true
But I never lost you
