Never Let The Moment Pass You By

Never Let The Moment Pass You By

 Standing in the distance

Acting like you don't notice I am there.

Seeming as though everything is perfect

As though you don’t have a single care.

 

I sit and watch you talk to friends.

You seem to be having a great time.

It seems as though you don’t need me now.

You seem to have made up your mind

 

A few minutes pass as if hours

But finally you rise to go.

As you make your way towards me

What I'll say, I don't really know.

 

As I turn to speak to you

My heart is beating fast.

I manage to get out a greeting

And finally we speak at last.

 

We talk for a few special moments

For the first time in a while,

Then as I was wishing that I could hold you again

I saw something that made me smile.

 

 In your eyes I could still see the love

That you used to have for me.

It stirred my hopes and feelings.

I hadn't seen it for many weeks.

 

You seemed to be content

Standing there staring into my eyes

As we talked about our day

And everything under the skies.

 

Then as you start to leave

We embrace in a long hug

And I felt as though everything was right.

I felt as though I had your love.

 

The evening passes and so does night

But you still don't even call

And I begin to really wonder

Whether you've even thought of me at all.

 

The night is long and restless

And I can't seem to find sleep's sweet song

But as I finally find my rest

I dream of you all night long.

 

The next morning comes about

But still there is no rest for my soul

Because I know you're the only one

That can fill this empty hole.

 

As I leave to start my day

Somehow I know its going to be alright

And I'll make it through some way

To see another night.

 

But then I see you again

And my heart skips a beat

And a feeling flows through me.

I can't find the words to speak.

 

It was at this moment that I saw you

That was just like every other time

Because I fell in love with you all over again

And longed for you to be mine.

 

I wanted so much to hold you

And know everything was going to be okay,

But I couldn't find the courage to speak to you,

So I went on with my day.

 

The day seemed to be like the last

And you never even looked my way.

You seem so different when you're with your friends

And I longed to tell you what I couldn't say.

 

I still have so much love for you

And I can feel that love in my heart

And I feel as if I am all alone

Whenever we are apart.

 

I try to get the courage to tell you

But I'm afraid it will be in vain.

And the more I try to keep it in

The more it causes me pain.

 

Finally as the day draws to a close

I find you standing with no one around.

But as I try to speak to you

I can barely make a sound.

 

But then as I look into your eyes

I can feel my love for you in every part

And the words that I've longed to say

Start flowing from my heart.

 

I tell you how much I love you

And how I barely make it through the day

Without you there to love me

And walk with me every step of the way.

 

And then something happens I didn’t expect

And you begin to cry

And tell me how much you’ve missed me.

You throw you’re arms around me with a sigh.

 

As we stand and weep together

I stare into your eyes.

I see the love that once was there

And now everything feels just right.

 

As we walk off together

Hand in hand, side by side.

I know that I've found my one true love

And the chance to be with you will never pass me by.

 

I pray that you all remember

To remember the past and live for the fullest of each day

Because you never know what tomorrow may bring

Or what it might take away.
