The soul that's in this heart of mine
Holds a green-eyed girl with dreams.
Yet I am no longer youthful,
by appearances sake , it seems.

I waited and waited, for just the right time
for everything to "fall into place,"
And over and over the time never came,
Now I'm left with regret I must face.

Left with all the past to ponder,
What might have been, had I,
Danced every dance, and took every chance,
Without caution in my eye.

There's no way to change what has already passed,
So I look forward, to the end , which is near,
And this time I've vowed to lift my head high
And race into the darkness, no fear.
