I sit and think of days gone by
My thoughts still turn to you
You never knew just how I felt
You chose another too.
I think of how it might of been
If I had been your wife
I know we could of made it work
And started a new life.
We were so young and never knew
The things that would be best
We each took different paths in life
From which there was no rest.
I heard the girl you married
Wanted you no more
She packed her clothes and left one day
While you were at the store.
But times have changed and you see me
As if for the first time
I've always been here waiting
Wishing you were mine.
You called me up to chat awhile
I always made you laugh
You told me of your problems
We talked about the past.
And then a gleam came in your eyes
And a smile upon your face
You didn't look at me the same
It was like another place.
You took my hand and held it tight
I knew you felt it too
The love I'd held within my heart
Was finally released to you.
Its funny how the things in life
Can change so suddenly
Just when you think things are the worst
A ray of light will be.
And from the light your heart will race
With everlasting love
Because the one you've waited for
Has promised you his love.
So until the flowers stop their bloom
And the rivers all run dry
You'll have the best of everything
Until the end of time.
