There was once a man who played around witth love. As he played, he left behind women with broken and bleeding hearts.
Eventually, the man came to realize that love is not a game. As he pondered on his past actions, it dawned on him that there was one girl he truly cared for. So the man went on a search to find this girl to ask for her forgiveness and to ask for her hand in marriage.
After some time
I’ve finally made up my mind
She is the girl
And I really want to make her mine
The man searched far and wide. His mission: to find the one that got away to tell her that he’s sorry for everything that he has done and to ask for a second chance with her by his side.
I’m searching everywhere
To find her again
To tell her I love her
And I’m sorry ’bout the things I’ve done
The search seemed endless but the man did not stop. He kept searching until finally he came upon a local church where a wedding was taking place. His curiosity aroused, the man stepped inside, and he felt his heart falling to the ground when he recognized the woman who just took her marital vows.
I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn’t search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
The search has come to an end for the man but it proved to be an empty quest. The girl he was looking fot has moved on and has found a new love. Although she still cared for him, the man came to his senses just a bit too late.
Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late
