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
