Seconds Lyrics


Seconds
I missed him just by seconds
I missed him in the moment that it takes a door to open
all the plans that i dreamed of
all the dreams i was hoping for
was shattered by the movement of the little hand that ticks away the seconds
thats all it takes is secondsthe rain has stopped the traffic and seems my hopes where fading
nothing moves across the city
while i pray his still was waiting there
knowing that my life was running on the hand that ticks away the secondsI got more now than seconds
I bet myself a lifetime I got all the time i needed
i sit here with this letter
nothing else to do but read it
nothing else to do but listen
while the ticking clock keeps ticking at it
left my life with nothing else no nothing else but seconds
and all the men i have met since then was secondsReprise

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
