Lyrics

Don't let it pass you by
Peter Coburn

There'll come a time
When you will find
A love so perfect and so true
But I'm a fool
I've been so blind
I turned my back and I lost you

I don't want to talk about it
The chance that passed me by

What might have been, I cannot say
No sense in dreaming in the stars
All that I know is every day
I think about you from afar
You have your life now, and I have mine
I know I never will forget
And what is left, for all our time
A life that's filled with deep regret

I don't want to talk about it
The chance that passed me by
You know I love you more and more
For all my hopes and all my dreams
The love that I denied
It's getting stronger every day
I don't want to talk about it
No words can express
I still don't understand
The heartache that has never left me
And now the loneliness
Why I let you walk away

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

You were the first, but not the last
But no one else could steal my heart
I didn't realise when you were there
I had it all right from the start

I don't want to talk about it
The chance that passed me by
You know I love you more and more
For all my hopes and all my dreams
The love that I denied
It's getting stronger every day
I don't want to talk about it
No words can express
I still don't understand
The heartache that has never left me
And now the loneliness
Why I let you walk away

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

You know I love you more and more
It's getting stronger every day
I still don't understand
How I let you walk away

Not bad, however, the melody could be stronger. Sounds a bit like Lou Reedish.

This is a good love-lost song. You can really hear the regret in your voice. I can understand all the lyrics. Meter and structure of the lyrics is very consistent. Very impassioned delivery. I really like the intro and the instrumentation. Backup vocals are great, and complement the song well.

I was reviewing this earlier and the site locked up on me. So I was really happy to have this pop back up on random review. Hopefully you didn't get a half review from me.

Love this thing, vocals match the lyrical imagery perfectly. As they are a bit creepy especially the background vocals. Overall arrangement is wonderful, minimal instrumentation but still strong. But with that said, would love to have a bigger kick in face at the end.

Nice song. Different arrangement.
