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 there 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 there we were nearly there
I let it go
And if I had to do it all again
Then I would surely go
And had 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 there we were nearly there
I let it go
