LYRIC FOR SALE

By Laurie Mahoney

(1st Verse)
Oh how I love her
Laying sleeping in the bed
Years since I last saw her
Our teenage love stopped dead

Back then she loved me madly
‘Til the night I broke her heart
Found comfort with another
And blew our world apart

Still can’t say now why I did it
Just some girl I didn’t know
Don’t have any good reasons
Young and drunk with an ego

Tried so hard to say I’m sorry
But she didn’t want to know
Told me she was leaving
Just had to watch her go

(Chorus)
Still can’t believe
That she came back to find me
I had given up
Thought my best years were behind me
Just look at her now
Sleeping beside me
Thought I knew for sure
My best years were behind me

(2nd Verse)
When I opened up my door
Found her standing in the rain
With that oh so pretty face
Thought I’d never see again

Said she’d finally made some peace
With that thing that I once did
How it was long ago
We were grown but still just kids

She’d heard that old song playing
Two hearts are better than one
Can’t pretend not to remember
All the laughter and the fun

And how you can’t just judge a person
By the worst thing that they’ve done
And what good is a darkness
That don’t one day bring the sun


(Chorus)
Still can’t believe
That she came back to find me
I had given up
Thought my best years were behind me
Just look at her now
Sleeping beside me
Thought I knew for sure
My best years were behind me


(3rd Verse)
They say that it’s much better
To have loved and to have lost
But anyone who says that
Never had to pay the cost

The years I spent without her
Such a waste of time
Worse again to live with
Was all down to my crime

Since that day I have seen others
Mostly got along just fine
Just could never recapture
What it was when she was mine

Hope one day she’ll be my wife
Now she’s let me be forgiven
Maybe we can have a life
Much better than just livin’

(Chorus)
Still can’t believe
That she came back to find me
I had given up
Thought my best years were behind me
Just look at her now
Sleeping beside me
Thought I knew for sure
My best years were behind me
Just so glad
She came back to find me
Yeah I just coulda sworn
My best years were behind me
My best years were behind me
