Pass it by

Pass it by Teardrops hit my face, waves of heartbreaks cascade onto my fingers Memories can’t replace, could’ve beens echoing, the pain still lingers Empty days planned, nothing seems important without your touch A longing I can’t stand, blast the tunes to drown out my heart but it’s too much Why look for a second four leaf clover? Or find both ends of a rainbow? When will your search be over? When will you let your loving flow? Holding out for a sign, something in red letters in the sky One day happiness will be mine, unless I’m dumb enough to pass it by Yesterday’s done and gone, scraped knees and tear-soaked pillows Stop singing that sad old song, step outside take a lesson from the willows Bend with the breeze, but no matter how strong it blows don’t break Life’ll bring you to your knees, your results lie in the choice you make Why look for a second four leaf clover? Or find both ends of a rainbow? When will your search be over? When will you let your loving flow? Holding out for a sign, something in red letters in the sky One day happiness will be mine, unless I’m dumb enough to pass it by Babe don’t you pass it by, don’t let it get away from you It’s right there in front of your eye, babe you know what to do Babe don’t you pass it by, we won’t get another chance We can make it if we try, fire up the magic in our romance But babe don’t you pass it by Tim Windisch 10/18/2023
