Passing By

I get chills when I think back to
The times when we
Were hurting one another.

I look back on that now
And it's good to know
That we've found some sacred ground.

Sometimes like a storm
It was cold and rainy
But we got by
We lost years
Trying to find it.

How in the world did we survive?
It almost died.

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever.

And if we wait too long
There's a chance that we may never know
If love goes passing by.

(guitar solo)

What about starting something new?
Just the two of us, baby
Got an awful lot to do.

It don't matter who was wrong
'Cause I know that we can make it
Right now we've got to stay strong.

At times I know that it wasn't easy
But we'll get by
It's much too late
To walk away and say goodbye
And let our love die.

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever.

The past is dead
The past is gone.

Why take a chance that we may never know
If love goes passing by?

And time wouldn't change a thing, oh, no
It'd be a shame if we don't try
And time wouldn't change a thing, no
If love goes passing by, oh, no

Mmmmm
