Pat Fortney - When I Walked Away Lyrics

Standing in the shadow of time
I walked away when love was mine
Why I left you I wonder why
What could have been on my mind; when I walked away

It must have been the sins of my youth
I was too young to see the truth
Through the years I think of you
And wonder what became of you; since I walked away

I'm married now; three kids in school
A wonderful wife and a great life too
But late at night I think of you
And wonder what if I were with you; if I didn't walk away

I look at my wife; say I love you
And the truth of it is I really do
I wouldn't want it any other way
I found my true love my saving grace because I walked away

So my dear when you hear these words
You'll finally know what I already know
That we were meant to fall in love
We found each other because I walked away
