Song – Stops Along The Way

As time goes by a man begins
Lookin’ back on where he’s been
Spendin’ nights remembering other days
And all the old songs come to mind
Like friends and lovers left behind
And all the stops we’ve made along the way

When wine did pour and hearts did break
And chances were the thing to take
Love was just another game to play
When I look back I am surprised
At all the dangers I’ve survived
At all the stops we’ve made along the way

Ah, the stops along the way
Where the highway came together
Games that I would play
When I thought I’d live forever
Loves we’d thought would last forever
But we found out that they
Were just stops along the way

Highways that have brought us here
Ah, the footprints all are bright and clear
Let’s enjoy this moment while we may
Let’s not deny the other loves
What we are we are because
Of all the stops we’ve made along the way

Ah, the stops along the way
Where the highway came together
Stops along the way
When I thought I’d live forever
Loves we thought would never end
Till we found out that they
Were just stops along the way
