She asked 'fore she turned away
"Is there anything you need to say?"
Well "I love you" might have worked
But I never said a single word
She never even made the front gate
Before I knew that I was too late
And I waited 'till she was far enough away
And then I cried
I waited 'till she had all she could take
I don't know why
I wanted to say "I love you"
At the perfect time
And like a fool
I waited till she said "Goodbye"
Well all the lines that weren't quite right
And the chances that I let slip by
All the times that I held out
Are reasons she's not here right now
All she really needed was to know
All I had to do was let it show
She asked 'fore she turned away
"Is there anything you need to say?"
Well "I love you" might have worked
But I never said a single word
She never even made the front gate
Before I knew that I was too late
And I waited 'till she was far enough away
And then I cried
I waited 'till she had all she could take
I don't know why
I wanted to say "I love you"
At the perfect time
And like a fool
I waited till she said "Goodbye"
She asked 'fore she turned away
"Is there anything you need to say?"
Well "I love you" might have worked
But I never said a single word
She never even made the front gate
Before I knew that I was too late
And I waited 'till she was far enough away
And then I cried
I waited 'till she had all she could take
I don't know why
I wanted to say "I love you"
At the perfect time
And like a fool
I waited till she said "Goodbye"
Goodbye
Hmm not sure why I posted that...must be that weird mood I'm in. Anyways it sorta reminds me of Sinbad and Maeve. And in case you're wondering, that song was sung and co-written by Chris Cummings, a very talented musician.
