Buenos Aires

When you left me by the river, I watched the boats go by*

When I saw you turn and walk away, I tried hard not to cry

Now I won't let it go

Cos I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me

And now we'll never know

And for a moment then we were nearly there

I let it go

I wanted you to break away

Just to leave it all behind

But you didn't know how to be that brave

To follow your own mind

Now I won't let it go

Cos I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me

And now we'll never know

And for a moment then we were nearly there

I let it go

And if I had it all to do again

Then I would surely go

And as you changed my mind

On that fateful day

I'd be yours

Take me to Buenos Aires

Take me to Buenos Aires

That I wanted you like you wanted me

And now we'll never know

And for a moment then we were nearly there

I let it go
