From the recording Jukebox Deluxe, Volume 4
Lyrics
Sometimes things get lost…
Take my time, for instance
I started out so young and strong
Wondering if I could go the distance
Some years I struggled and failed
But I took it all in stride
Sometimes things get lost
But all I’ve found is what I tried to hide
Sometimes things get lost…
Take my heart, if you will
I wanted love to fill my life
But through the years, love avoids me still
There’ve been broken hearts and indecision
Quiet tears and hard good-byes
Sometimes things get lost
But all I’ve found, I still don’t recognize
Keep your faith is all I ever heard
The prize is waiting I was always reassured
Keep your faith and the blessings surely come
But I stand here empty-handed feeling hopelessly stranded…
Sometimes things get lost…
Take my dreams that never came true
I think of them as nothing more
Than what was needed to pull me through
Failure presses hard to haunt me
Regret cuts me to the bone
Sometimes things get lost
And sometimes, what’s lost is never found
Sometimes things get lost…
And sometimes, what’s lost is never found
Sometimes things get lost…
