Things you've never done

When you were youngerBlue eyed boy wonderNever used to ponder on what life may hideNow you're olderThe nights are so much colderNever even told her how you feel inside

You were so proud with your head up in the white cloudsShe'd call you so loud but you'd never knowNow that you're wiserYou'd never compromise herEvery day you'd realise herBut this bird has flown

And you've blown out all your candles one by oneAnd you curse yourself for things you never done

She would wait for youIdolise adore youLove and reassure youYou couldn't let it beYou let it lingerSlip on through your fingersSo that september she moved across the sea

How your face droppedHow your heart stoppedSitting at the bus stopWhen they told you that she'd goneSo you run to the harbourNeed to tell her that you love herAs the boat disappears you never felt so alone

'cause you've blown out all your candles one by oneAnd you curse yourself for things you never doneWhere were you when her hour of need had come?Now you curse yourself for things you never done

Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsomeCalls you up from london and sits and asks you whySo your answer don't be scared of failureFor the only failure is never to try

Where were you when her hour of need had comeNow you curse yourself for thing's you've never done
