VERSE I've thought about it for a long, long time
About how true love is so hard to find
Some people seem to stumble into it blind, not me

VERSE Well, I've had lovers now, and I've had friends
We said we're sorry when we reached the end
My heart remembers every one of them faithfully

CHORUS The clock is slowly runnin'out of time
Another year has quickly passed me by
And I don't know why
True love is hard to find

VERSE I lost my innocence when I was sixteen
I gladly gave it to the girl of my dreams
But when we woke up we were seventeen
We said goodbye

VERSE And then I heard the preacher say to me
True love should last throughout eternity
Well, I guess it ran out at age twenty-three
At least we tried

CHORUS

BRIDGE Forever ev'ryone searches hard to find
Someone to fill up the empty spaces inside

VERSE I thought about it for a long, long time
About how true love is so hard to find
Some people seem to stumble into it blind, not me

VERSE Well, I'll keep on walkin' and I won't let it show
And maybe someday further up the road
A total stranger's waitin' in the cold patiently

CHORUS
