He'll Never Be You is a song that always sounded like a hit to me. I wrote it with Diane Scanlon. Sarah Brooks is singing and Diane Scanlon is producing. Ira Seigel is on guitar and Andy Snitzer is on sax.

Lyrics

He’ll Never Be You

From out of nowhere
Your steamy voice is
Asking me how I’ve been
Well, I’ve got a family
A hard working man
My life is good with him

He’ll always love me and give me whatever I need

But he’ll never be you
I have to confess
He’ll never be you
You were the best
Though I try to forget
I still haven’t yet
He’ll never be you

We had the passion
A raging fire
But that’s all in the past
So don’t go messin’
Up my good thing
This time I’m gonna make it last

I made a promise to love him faithfully

But he’ll never be you
I remember your kiss
He’ll never be you
It’s a thrill I still miss
Though I try to forget
My only regret is
He’ll never be you

I pushed you away but I only have myself to blame
You walked out that door and vanished before
Before I knew how much I’d miss you, baby

I’ll stand beside him ‘cause he means so much to me

Chorus
