If I had 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 onto 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 onto Something so true But I never lost you
