Why can't I be like the lighthouse
Standing guard in the night
Guiding the ships to safety
Through the storm with her powerful light
Sometimes the storms of life
Take us far apart
Someone moves on then
To find a brand new start
Somewhere within my heart
Lie the words I want to say
Sometimes something happens
And they come out in a very wrong way
Patience is a virtue
One I never seemed to show
Maybe if I had said something
You would have never had to go
Now we both are here
Two ships passing in the night
I will never have the backbone
Like that lighthouse in the storm tonight
But as I drift upon the sea
You will be right by my side
And I can never forget you
As we sail upon her rolling tides
