Pass it by

Teardrops hit my face, waves of heartbreaks cascade onto my

Memories can’t replace, could’ve beens echoing, the pain

Empty days planned, nothing seems important without your

A longing I can’t stand, blast the tunes to drown out my

Why look for a second four leaf clover? Or find both ends of

When will your search be over? When will you let your loving

Holding out for a sign, something in red letters in the sky

One day happiness will be mine, unless I’m dumb enough to

Yesterday’s done and gone, scraped knees and tear-soaked

Stop singing that sad old song, step outside take a lesson

Bend with the breeze, but no matter how strong it blows don’t

Life’ll bring you to your knees, your results lie in the

Why look for a second four leaf clover? Or find both ends of

When will your search be over? When will you let your loving

Holding out for a sign, something in red letters in the sky

One day happiness will be mine, unless I’m dumb enough to

Babe don’t you pass it by, don’t let it get away from you

It’s right there in front of your eye, babe you know what to

Babe don’t you pass it by, we won’t get another chance

We can make it if we try, fire up the magic in our romance

But babe don’t you pass it by
