They've passed me by, many years, And I did turn well away. To give and lose love And still no word had I to say, Not to anyone. Now I see How I could speak honestly. But when you're gone Perhaps you'll long to be free. I do know When it is That I must go. For you can think of love Wandering far from you, Or of a warm heart Wishing well and loving you. I do believe The way is To live. I have loved many And you have, too. But with the strength of the young This love has memories, They are worth to be sung.
