O Come, O Come Emmanuel - Sooner Than Later

Sooner Than Later


I guess we did what we thought we had to
But what we did wasn’t right
Prouder than we should have been
Too many times we walked away

Now I always knew there’d be questions
And I know what we tried to do
You were something special
There was nothing simple about you

They say what’s right isn’t wrong
I think that I’ll make a wager
You carried along until you felt out of danger
I wrote you this song so won’t you do me a favor
When it’s my turn to fall, you’ll catch me sooner than later

Now I’m missing those times tonight
Dark was dark and light was light
No one knew you better and nobody tried harder

They say what’s right isn’t wrong
I think that I’ll make a wager
You carried along until you felt out of danger
I wrote you this song so won’t you do me a favor
When it’s my turn to fall you’ll catch me sooner than later

I saw you standing by the road yesterday
I saw your shadow fall across my way
