Ten Years Too Late

Sometimes you meet somebody who turns your world around

Someone who lifts you up when inside you are feeling down

A simple text or message can make your day or night

Someone you want next to you on life’s long haul flight

Chorus

But I’m ten years too late

Too late to be given a chance

I’m not after pity or sympathy

Just want to be given a second glance

When we go out we go out as friends

I’m sadly stuck in that zone

Some night I will find the courage

To call you up on your telephone

We’ll arrange our very first date

But I’m afraid I’m ten years too late

I see your posts on facebook and I wish I could say what I think

To hold you close one evening after an evening of laughter and drink

When we are together I try and tell you exactly how I feel

The way you make me smile, my heart can no longer conceal

Bridge

So what happens now?  Do I continue to hide in the background?

Searching for someone like you but why search when it is you I’ve already found

The past we can not change but the future is up for discussion

We could make sweet music like an orchestra and its wonderful percussion

Yes no doubt we will turn heads but I really don’t care what they all say

I just want to be with you for now and every day
