" It's Sad to Belong " ( 1977 )
Met you on a springtime day
You were mindin' you life
And I was mindin mine, too
Lady when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation
And, darlin' that's when I knew...
That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along,
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along.
Oh, I wake up in the night
And I reached beside me
Hopin' you will be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said
"I'd always care."
That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along,
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along.
So I'll live my life in a dreamworld for the rest of my days
Just you and me walkin' hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh, I guess that's all
That it will ever be.
Wish I had a time machine
I could make myself go back
Until the day I was born,
And I would live my life again
and rearrange it so that I'd be
Yours from now on.
That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along,
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along.

This was playing on the radio in 1978 when I was married to my first husband and I knew I could not be with my male co worker who I knew was the right one for me.
