Lyrics of Courage

As I watched you walk along the shore the other morn
It was the start of another beautiful day
I wanted to speak to you but I felt so forlorn
Because I could not think of anything to say

As I watched you walk through the park that same day
It was just a little before noon
Memories came back as the band began to play
Sure enough it was our favorite tune

But I just sat there on a picnic table
I let you go on your merry care free way
I wanted so badly to come over and talk to you
But I could not think of anything to say

I tried to find the courage
But the courage was so hard to find
Got to pull myself together, stand tall and strong
I got to speak what's on my mind

I saw you in the theater last night
Way back in the very last row
All I wanted to do was to talk to you
And be together while we watched the show

But like a coward I ducked out the exit
Before the credits began to play
I knew I was going to regret it
But I just couldn't think of anything to say

Well.......I finally found the courage
Though the courage was so hard to find
I managed to pull myself together
And tomorrow I would say what's on my mind

As I waited for you to walk along the shore that morn
It was the start of another beautiful day
I knew I would find some piece of mind
Because I no longer felt empty and so forlorn

My heart was filled with a happiness
I felt a joy I thought would never end
I felt life was worth living for
And that you would be my very best friend

But strange things happen
in this big old world
You never came around anymore

Now I must work up the courage
And face the fact
I may never see you again
I may never see you again
I may never see you again
