Why can't I be like the lighthouse

standing guard in the night?

Guiding the ships to safety

through the storm with her powerful light.

Sometimes the storms of life

take us far apart.

Someone moves on then,

to find a brand new start.

Somewhere within my heart,

lie the words I want to say.

Sometimes something happens,

and they come out in a very wrong way.

Patience is a virtue,

one I never seemed to show.

Maybe if I had said something,

you would have never had to go.

Now we both are here,

two ships passing in the night.

I will never have the backbone,

like that lighthouse in the storm tonight!

But as I drift upon the sea

you will be right by my side,

and I can never forget you

as we sail upon her rolling tides!
