[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Bernard Sumner]
I saw her face
In a dream last night
And it hurt so much
Yes, it hurt so much
She was in my mind
As I drank my wine
And now I count the costs
Of the one I lost

[Pre-Chorus: Bernard Sumner]
She went away (She went away)
To a different place
And she was never to return
Whatever happened to that girl?

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner & Denise Johnson]
Sometimes you don't know what you've got
You think you're better than the rest
And the world belongs to you
But you're nothing but a fool
If you can hold her in your hands
If you can feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her run away
Don't еver let her drift away
Causе it will break you later on
When you're left there on your own
Don't ever let her slip away
Don't ever let her drift away
[Verse 2: Bernard Sumner]
It's a crying shame
It caused so much pain
It turned out that way
It was me that day
Cause I turned you away
Like I didn't know who you were
I was such a fool
I was so cruel

[Pre-Chorus: Bernard Sumner]
And the years went by
And without a word of lie
I still love you
But what can I do?

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner, Dawn Zee & Denise Johnson, Dawn Zee]
Sometimes you don't know what you've got
You think you're better than the rest
And the world belongs to you
But you're nothing but a fool (Hold her in your hands)
If you can hold her in your hands
If you can feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her run away
Don't ever let her drift away
Cause it will break you later on
When you're left there on your own
Don't ever let her slip away
Don't ever let her drift away
[Post-Chorus: Dawn Zee, Denise Johnson]
Hold her in your hands
Don't ever let her drift away
Ever let her drift away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner, Dawn Zee & Denise Johnson, Dawn Zee, Denise Johnson]
Sometimes you don't know what you've got
You think you're better than the rest
And the world belongs to you
But you're nothing but a fool (Hold her in your hands)
If you can hold her in your hands
Feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her run away
Don't ever let her drift away

[Post-Chorus: Dawn Zee, Denise Johnson]
Hold her in your hands
Feel her in your heart
Don't ever let her drift away
Don't ever let her drift away
Let her drift away
Let her drift away
