Could've made it easily
Why I didn't, well I really don't know.
It could be I loved her,
Knowing that it wouldn't last.
She told me I was different
And that she wanted to understand.
By the time i'd made my mind up to take her,
She was leaving on the midnight express
That Green-Eyed American Actress,
Who once had told me she'd try to make it with me.
I'm here thinking how it could've been.
She's on the stage in New York.
I wonder if she ever thinks of me,
I don't suppose so.
She told me I was different and that she wanted to understand,
By the time i'd made my mind up to take her,
She was leaving on the midnight express,
That Green-Eyed American Actress,
Who once had to me that she'd try to make it with me.
I'm here and the bloomin' view from my window
Is a Paddington Roof.
Think i'll put my coat on,
And go and walk awhile.
She told me I was different and that she wanted to understand.
By the time i'd made my mind up to take her,
She was leaving on the midnight express.
That Green-Eyed American Actress,
Who once had told me that she'd try to make it with me.
She was leaving on the midnight express.
I could've made it easily,
Why I didn't, well I really don't know.
I could've made it easily,
Why I didn't, well I really don't know.
I could've made it easily...
I could've made it easily...
I could've made it easily...
