lyrics

He was generously open
A clever man quite softly spoken
Always kept her letter as a token
Never seen too good to hide
As time rolled by

He met her by a mountain
She didn't know a lot about him
But the way he spoke of better things
It touched her somewhere deep inside
And time rolled by

And as time rolls by
He tells his children one by one
Hey now take the chances as they come
Don't ever let love pass you by
As time rolls by

Sharing every language
They tried to free the world of anguish
And they spoke of how their love was gonna
Cross over the great divide
As time rolls by

Destination Dover
They parted when the war was over
And he never knew the fire that drove her
Only felt the tears he cried
As time rolled by

And as time rolls by, the days become the years
And a man gets frightened by his tears

Now memory can be shaken
Something stirred within to waken
All his feelings of a love mistaken
Nothing hurt except his pride
As time rolled by

So one day he wrote a letter
Knowing he could not forget her
Leaving no time to regret it
She was standing right before his eyes
And time rolled by

And as time rolls by
They tell their children one by one
Hey now take the chances as they come
Don't ever let love pass you by
As time rolls by
As time rolls by.
