Love Rushes By

Once I knew, these wonderful girls
I was saved for a time
I was foolish, and I fell
I would write them a rhyme
I was soaring, so very high
Then the broken words came 
I was wounded, I was hurt
I was never the same

And the world rushed by
And the days were slow
Love rushes by
Alone with nowhere to go

Once I knew, these wonderful girls
They fixed my broken heart
I would let, my guard down
Then they pulled me a part
I was lost, for a while
With no one to guide my way
I was in need, of someone’s help
But no one would ever stay

And the world rushed by 
And the days were slow
Love rushes by
Alone with nowhere to go

Now I know, a lot of friends
They tell me wonderful words
I am amazing, and I am wise
Things I have always heard
So I ask, if am so great
Then why can’t I find anyone
So I wait, for a beautiful girl
To make my life as bright as the sun

Because the world rushed by
So the days were slow
Because love rushes by
I am still here all alone
