I Waited Too Long
[william livesay ©2011]

I tilt my head when I look in the mirror
I look like my father or so I've been told
I wanted to see him, reach out and touch him
But I was a secret and that was so long ago
Then I got older and a little bit bolder
And decided to walk through that door
But I waited too long... I waited too long
To make a new start and speak from my heart
And life marches on… I waited too long
I took out my book, it was old and faded
The pages were worn but the number was clear
So I called up the number and a voice on the line said
He's got a date with the angels, oh the end may be near
Why did my hesitation for one conversation
Deny me as long as it did
I waited too long... I waited too long
To try and be real and see how I feel
And life marches on... I waited too long
I stood in the shadows like an unknown stranger
Preparing myself for worlds to collide
Then I took a deep breath ‘cause I heard someone say
I didn't make it in time
I waited too long... I waited too long
To make a new start and speak from my heart
And life marches on... I waited too long
I waited too long... I waited too long
I waited too long... I waited too long
To try and be real or to say what I feel
And time marches on, yes it does
I waited too long
