(Josh)
The day that we met
I'll never forget
I knew from the moment she spoke
The she, was destined to be
My favorite regret

And all through the years
The joy and the tears
We shared like as greatest of friends
But she, was destined to be
My favorite regret

Well, each moment we've spent
I've been almost content
Just to talk to her all through the night

But a part of me mourns
What will never be born
She's forever my favorite regret

(Katie)
He's gentle and kind
And totally blind
To not see the life we could lead
And he, is destined to be
My favorite regret

In bad times and good
I've steadfastly stood
My passion just waits to be freed
But he, is destined to be
My favorite regret

(Josh & Katie)
Well, I've got more to give
But I'm happy to live
In the shadow, of what could’ve been

But a part of me yearns
Like an ember, it burns
Forever, my favorite regret


One day, when the stars fade
Will the echoes of my love
Arrive to you above
And wake you up at last


I'll take what I've got
Put the rest in a box
Addressed to the stars in the sky
And soon, up there with the moon
My favorite regret
Forever my favorite regret
