(Soft violin Intro)
⸻
Verse 1
Friends since grade school days
Two houses down the street
Sharing bikes and summer shade
Running barefoot in the heat
He was shy but she was sunshine
Every laugh she gave him burned
She never knew the way he felt
Or how long for her he yearned
⸻
Verse 2
She broke his heart in high school
When she found her first boyfriend
He smiled like it didn’t hurt
While his whole world caved right in
But every night he’d sit alone
With a guitar and broken dreams
Writing words he’d never say
To the girl who was everything
⸻
Pre-Chorus
He kept those feelings locked away
Afraid she’d walk away
⸻
Chorus
So he wrote her a love song
Just to say she’s on his mind all day long
Every time she crosses his mind his heart starts racing
She never knew she was the one he was chasing
All those words he held inside for so long
He poured into that love song
⸻
Verse 3
Twenty years had come and gone
When he saw her at the store
They laughed about the old days
Like they had before
She said, “I gotta run, take care”
And headed for the door
He watched the moment slip away
Still wanting just a little more
⸻
Chorus
So he wrote her a love song
Just to say she’s on his mind all day long
Every time she crosses his mind his heart starts racing
She never knew she was the one he was chasing
All those words he held inside for so long
He poured into that love song
⸻
Verse 4 / Bridge
He never heard from her again
Then he saw her name in the obituaries
He cried there in the back row
While the preacher read her memories
When the crowd cleared out he stayed behind
With that old song in his hand
Then her mama handed him a letter
Said, “She wrote her love for you back then”
⸻
Final Chorus
He wrote her a love song
Told her how she’d been his world, all along
Every memory made his old heart start racing
She never knew she’s the one he was chasing
All those years he held those words so strong…
——
And then….
He finally sang her that old… love song
⸻
Outro
Some hearts hold on forever
Even after the last goodbye
