Stephen Sondheim - Good Thing Going lyrics

[CHARLEY] It started out like a song. We started quiet and slow, With no surprise. And then one morning I woke To realize We had a good thing going. It's not that nothing went wrong: Some angry moments, of course, But just a few, And only moments, no more, Because we knew We had this good thing going. And if I wanted too much, Was that such A mistake At the time? You never wanted enough — All right, tough, I don't make That a crime. And while it's going along, You take for granted some love Will wear away. We took for granted a lot, But still I say: It could have kept on growing, Instead of just kept on. We had a good thing going, Going, gone.
