Blue eyed boy wonder

Never used to ponder on what life may hide

Now you're older

the nights are so much colder

Never even told her how you feel inside



You were so proud with your head up in the white clouds

She'd call you so loud but you'd never know

Now that you're wiser you'd never compromise her

Every day you'd realise her

But this bird has flown



And you've blown out all your candles one by one

And you curse yourself for things you never done



She would wait for you

idolise adore you

love and reassure you you couldn't let it be

you let it linger

slip on through your fingers

so that september she moved across the sea



how your face dropped

how your heart stopped

sitting at the bus stop when they told you that she'd gone

so you run to the harbour

need to tell her that you love her

as the boat disappears you never felt so alone



‘cause you've blown out all your candles one by one

And you curse yourself for things you never done

Where were you when her hour of need had come?

Now you curse yourself for things you never done



Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome

Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why

So your answer don't be scared of failure

For the only failure is never to try
