[Lyrics by Billy]
[Verse 1]
He had a smile that stopped time in its tracks
A wink and a line, and the girls all looked back
Thought love was a game, he played just for fun
Left hearts in his wake, always chasing the sun
He’d charm ‘em, then leave ‘em, out drinking with friends
Thinking the good times would never end
A kiss in the dark, then he’d slip away
Another goodbye by the light of day
[Chorus]
But now the second glances have faded to none
The mirror don’t lie about what time has done
He’s greying and quiet, no swagger, no spin
Karma’s a weight pressing deep on his skin
If he could, he’d go back and say sorry to all
To every sweet heart that he let fall
But the past don’t answer, no matter how loud you call
[Verse 2]
Then one day, he met her — not just a flame
She steadied his soul and quieted the game
He stayed in her arms, found joy in the small
The laughter, the mornings, the love through it all
Years rolled along in the warmth of her grace
Until fate played its hand and stole her from this place
Now it’s just him, the echoes, and girls of his own
His daughters who love him , but he stiil feels alone
[Chorus]
And now the second glances have faded to none
The mirror don’t lie about what time has done
He’s greying and quiet, no swagger, no spin
Karma’s a weight pressing deep on his skin
If he could, he’d go back and say sorry to all
To every sweet heart that he let fall
But the past don’t answer, no matter how loud you call
[Bridge]
He walks through the memories, late in the night
Of hands he let go, and wrongs he can’t right
But there’s still a hope, faint as a flame
That love might come gently and whisper his name
[Final Chorus]
So if love comes knocking, he’ll open the door
He’ll cherish her better than ever before
No running, no lying, no selfish disguise
Just a man who has finally opened his eyes
With all of the love he once threw away
He’ll give it for real, if love comes to stay
And maybe forgiveness will find him one day
[Outro]
Yeah, maybe forgiveness will find him… one day
