Lyrics
Now & Then
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
