Answer
Dear Ting,

The song NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET YOU GO was sung by ROBERT "BOBBY" MARTIN. He is the son of two opera singers from Philadelphia. He is a trained French horn player, gifted athlete and sports a genius IQ. He is a veteran musician who has toured and worked with the best, notably FRANK ZAPPA. NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET YOU GO came from his lone solo album released in 1983 billed as BOBBY MARTIN. Here's its lyrics:

NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET YOU GO / BOBBY MARTIN

Win some, lose some
But this is a game that we're playin'
A true love is worth the savin'
But I've broken all the rules
And I'm standin' like a fool
And now that you're gone
I just wanna say...

Chorus:
Never shoulda let you go
Must've been so crazy
Never shoulda let you go
Now I can't forget I'm hangin' on a dream
And the dream is gone I know
(I) Never shoulda let you go.

Shadows of memories
How could I hurt you, so you left me
Will you just forget me?
If I had you back again
We could have what might have been
But now that you're gone
I just gotta say...
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus except last line)
(Repeat Chorus while fading)

Maraming salamat po!!
