lyrics

I lost the words to a song
I guess I never really had
I wasted time swingin' slow
trying to rhyme with a lie
And I guess if it would have stayed
it would have contained
a line about how life is good
and how nothing should change
But before I could set down my pen
the notes all slipped away
and now I only have an empty page

I know this feeling well
Because I feel it every time
I guess I'll write it down
And sing it by and by (by and by)

Wandering off on my own
into the silence of the night
Moon has the same naked glow
but alone it's not alive
Strolling down the promenade
Where I thought life had changed
Thinking about you
fading into haze
I thought we had at least one verse composed and arranged
Glory to a hymn time didn't save

I know this feeling well
Because I feel it every time
I guess I'll write it down
And sing it by and by (by and by)

I lost the words to a song
I guess I never really had
I wasted time swingin' slow
trying to rhyme with a lie
She said what a pity
that your music seems so bad
where a couple jumbled lines
is the best you've ever had
But maybe chasing melodies will keep me alive
And I can sing this song by and by
