I first met you at the quiz machine
You touched my heart as you touched the screen
And together we inched towards a big cash prize.
Our knowledge seemed complementary
I knew pop music, you knew geography
But we ran out of time as I looked into your eyes.

That's the way it was meant to be
If only it hadn't been just a dream
I awoke with a start
Why does my subconscious keep breaking my heart?

I saw your face at the pool table
I tried to beat you but I was unable
We were perfectly matched, at least that's how it seemed
When the cue ball rolled out the door
We decided that we'd have to call it a draw
But we agreed we'd make a marvellous doubles team
