Love's Delayed

Now I lay me down to sleep
You were always there for me
But what happened on that night
You turned out the light
You ran so far away
Thought you wanted to stay
You left with the blink of an eye
Didn't say goodbye

You couldn't take a chance
You were too afraid
You couldn't take a chance
Now our love's delayed
Now our love's delayed

Where did, where did you go
I asked but you said no
You wanna say goodbye
But I love you
Gonna stay 'til we're through
You and me were torn apart
Like Romeo and Juliet from the start
Each time you say goodbye
A chill runs down
You say, "Hush don't make a sound"

You couldn't take a chance
You were too afraid
You couldn't take a chance
Now our love's delayed

You couldn't take a chance
You were too afraid
You couldn't take a chance
Now our love's delayed
Now our love's delayed
Now our love's delayed
Now our love's delayed
