Sometimes

Sometime when I think about the life I used to lead,
We were young and strong and we thought ourselves so wise.
And you were there my friend, we thought the dream would never end.
But older now, looking back 'cross that bridge of sighs...

And I cry, 'cause I let you down my friend
And I cry, never knowin' how it might've been
Yes I cry, for the love I never shared, cause even though I cared...
There's a love I never dared.

Sometimes I'll go out for a drive and I arrive by the Old Man's place,
I could swear I see your face right before my eyes...
There was some much left to say, I let the cares get in the way...
Stole the time I thought we had...and then you died.

So I cry, 'cause I let you down my friend
Yes I cry, never knowin' how it might've been
Oh I cry, for the love I never shared, cause even though I cared...
There's a love I never dared.

Funny how in life there seems there's so much left to live,
and the love we've yet to give, slips like sand through a sieve.

Sometimes when I'm all alone feeling only that I've failed,
I could swear I hear your voice sayin', "...least you tried..."
And I dust off my shoe, put away that blues cause I know that,
To hold back on the truth is akin to a lie...

And I try, cause I'd let you down my friend,
And I cry, never knowin' how it might've been
Yes I cry, for the love I never shared, cause even though I cared...
There's a love I need dare!
