You smiled too late
And now you see
The girl you lost was meant to be
I gave my heart
I let it go
You didn't know
You couldn't know
I waited long
I held my ground
But now the tide has come around
The harbor lights fade out of view
The one for you is no longer true
That ship has sailed
The waves are wide
I'm on my way
I won't abide
You missed your chance
The night is done
The love you lost has just begun
Memories linger
Soft and sweet
Of whispered words and hurried feet
But I've moved on
The past is gone
The morning finds me sailing on
If only you had seen me clear
Before the shore disappeared
Now the wind carries me away
No turning back
No more to say
That ship has sailed
The waves are wide
I'm on my way
I won't abide
You missed your chance
The night is done
The love you lost has just begun
That ship has sailed
