McClinton, Delbert - You Were Never Mine Lyrics

Only seen him 5 times... but that # will get bigger if he keeps performing !

Upon more reflection- this is a masterpiece- of emotion, dignity and soul. In one masterful vocal- it's resigned, enlightened, crushed, wise and hopeful- all at the same time. I can't stop listening.

If you've never experienced this- then son, you haven't lived.

Deep and Meaningful. Great song !!!!!

Such a chilling beat !! 💔
I never lost her Since 2003, but damn, she was never mine 🔫

Sometimes deep in the night
When I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch,baby
I can’t believe how real it seems
And I know,yes I know
I’ll have you ‘till the end of time
‘Cause I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you,’Cause you were never mine
I never lost you, I never really lost you
How could I lose you, you were never mine

So beautiful..

Good tune for lady pearl

Guess I'm lucky. I seen Delbert, GG Shinn, and other like this. This song is one you can't listen to just once, got to put it on "repeat"

Wow, I can feel the Hurt, and you cant do that,Unless you're been there. Thank you

It's a sin to tell yourself a lie.... I never lost you..... you were never mine :(

The most heartbreaking break-up song I've ever listened to.....and so very....very.... true.

Sometimes deep in the night
When I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby
I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, Lord I know
I'll have you 'til the end of time
'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you, 'cause you were never mine

This track is one of the reasons why I LOVE Delbert!

So sad but I feel it for a love lost just wasn't meant to be thank you dm

I saw someone again today
Who remembered me and you
They asked all the same old questions
I gave the same excuse
They said what a shame, what a shame
To lose a love so fine
But I never lost you, I never really lost you
I never lost you, you were never mine

I kept on believing
What I wanted to believe
The unspoken promises
Them that you could never keep
But it's a sin, oh it's a sin to tell yourself a lie
But I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you, you were never mine

Did you give me all that you gave me
Just because...'cause I needed you
But when I needed all your love completely
Was it more...more than you could do

Sometimes deep in the night
When I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby
I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, Lord I know
I'll have you 'til the end of time
'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you, 'cause you were never mine

I never lost you, I never really lost you
How could I lose you, 'cause you were never mine

Simple, gorgeous. This song is perfection.

Delbert McClinton.......    I Never Lost You.....".You Were Never Mine"

Delbert gives one of my favorites a bluesy roadhouse feel.  I look forward to seeing him in person again soon.
