Fast tracking it in his Mercedes Benz
He picks up the call on his cell phone
His wife says You gotta coem home now
I need to talk to you alone
He says I'd like to but I'm way to busy
Slince then a voice says I'm dying
The words slow his life in and instant
He crumples broken and crying

It's sad when a love neglected
Comes sharply into focus
Only when the light is fading
And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

She was young and oh so beutiful
All the cars would stop so guys could see her
Her bible's tossed into a dresser
The rosary decorates the rear view mirror
She sneaks out at night she likes to partu
She tried to drive when she could barly see
She was the apple of her father's eye
Who oh why did she have to die

It's sad when a love neglected
Comes sharply into focus
Only when the light is fading
And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

{Bridge}

Don't you see it could easily be me
Who loses and neglects your love

If we replive choices
That have slipped right through our fingers
God help us show us today
How to love along the way

It's sad when a love neglected
Comes sharply into focus
Only when the light is fading
And we're grasping for hope in the darkness
