chris rea - i thought i was going to lose you lyrics

i thought that i was going to lose you
just for a moment you looked like slipping away
and my only thought was to come with you
there was no other reason to stay
now i’m sinking in a river of happy returns
though i’m tired i can do nothing but sigh
for the greatest relief i’m so thankful
as i gaze at your coming-back smile

lord, i thought i was going to lose you
yes, i thought i was going to lose you
