Lost Along The Way

I’ve had friends and I’ve known lovers

Yet I stand alone today

The cost for life and love

Can be a brutal price to pay

I’ve known good times and had bad times

In this life I chose to live

Lost my heart and nearly lost my mind

There’s not much left to give

I’ve seen smiles and I’ve heard laughter

And I’ve seen my Daddy cry

I saw courage from my Mama

When it came her time to die

I witnessed life’s great miracle

The day my son was born

And I’ve buried friends and family

I’ve known grief and learned to mourn

Some things you never get back

Were they ever meant to stay

Priceless treasures of a broken heart

I lost along the way
