"Passing By" lyrics - ROBERT CRAY

I get chills when I think back to
The times when we
Were hurting one another
I look back on that now
And it's good to know
That we've found some sacred ground

Sometimes like a storm
It was cold and rainy
But we got by
We lost years
Trying to find it
How in the world did we survive?

It almost died

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever
And if we wait too long
There's a chance that we may never know
If love goes passing by

[Guitar solo]

What about starting something new?
Just the two of us, baby
Got an awful lot to do
It don't matter who was wrong
Cause I know that we can make it
Right now we've got to stay strong

At times I know it wasn't easy
But we'll get by
It's much too late
To walk away and say goodbye
And let our love die

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever

The past is dead
The past is gone

Why take a chance that we may never know
If love goes passing by
And time wouldn't change a thing
Oh, no
It'd be a shame if we don't try
And time wouldn't change a thing
No
If love goes passing by
Oh, no
Mmmmm
