Willingly

When I was just a young boy

My mama said to me

Don't fall in love willingly

Now that is all forgotten

Unwilling memory

But if you change your mind

I will walk the line

I'll follow....

Willingly

We used to talk about it

But now it seems the wind has blown your way

And I have come to doubt it

That you and I will ever love again

'Cause good enough is one thing

That I will never be

And I admit it all

Willingly

And now the times are changing

The things I've seen before don't look the same

My life is rearranging

But falls apart with whispers of your name

And though I swear to love you

With all sincerity

I'll slowly fade away

Willingly

The sun is on my shoulders

Perhaps it's colder for I've lost some pride

Or maybe it's the absence

Of all the joy I felt right by your side

And when the storm was over

I found your memory

And I will hold it warm

Willingly
