Found and Lost
I have waited all of my life for someone like you
I love all of the cute and funny things that you do
But my time is running out here, just as I was getting to know you
Saying goodbye to you is something that I don’t want to do
Found and Lost, forces beyond my control are pulling me away from you
Found and Lost, I wish somehow I could see this love through
Found and Lost, this is going to be hard because I think you love me too
Found and Lost, when it comes time for me to leave I am really going to miss you
I wish we had the time to get to know each other more
I know there are more things that you have for me in store
But the closer I get to you, other forces are starting to pull me away
And the further I get away from you, the more my heart will break
Found and Lost, I wish there was some way, I could take you with me
Found and Lost, but us being together just seems like another lost dream
Found and Lost, there is so little time to say everything I wanted to say
Found and Lost, it’s sad to find a love this special and have it taken away
I wish we could have met each other at a different time
You could have been the great love of my life
But just like so many times before this too was never meant to be
And having to say goodbye to you will be really hard for me
Found and Lost, you’re the only reason I want to stay
Found and Lost, from everything else I want to run far away
Found and Lost, I wish that there was someway I could stay
Found and Lost, it’s sad to find a love this special and have it taken away
