On My Way To You

Nancy LaMott


So often 
As I wait for sleep 
I find myself reciting
The words I've 
Or should have said
Like scene 
That need rewriting

The smiles 
I never answered
Doors perhaps 
I should have opened
Songs forgotten 
In the morning

I relived 
The roles I played
The tears 
I may have squandered 
The many pipers 
I have paid
Along the road 
I wandered

Yet all the time 
I knew it
Love was somewhere 
Out there waiting
Thought I may regret 
A kiss or two 

If I had changed 
A single day
What when to miss 
Or when to stray
I may have never found 
My way to you

If I had changed 
A single day
What when to miss 
Or when to stray
I may have never found 
My way to you

I wouldn't change 
A thing that happened 
On my may to you
