Ryan Montbleau - How Many Times lyrics

rate me

There's a coat that I won't wear again 'till late some time this year

And when I hang it in my closet I'll go on about my day

Just a passing little chore

but before I close the door

I take one final look upon it

And I wonder just the same

How many times?

How many times?

Will I get to see the season's change

And stand here at the door?

How many times?

How many times?

Will I be sittin' here?

How many times?

Well there's a general store in Maine

Where I spent some younger days

I took a drive one day to see it

With a long lost love of mine

And though that day it now was years ago

I can not help but feel as though

I was such a foolish child

As we argued on the ride

How many times?

How many times?

Did I look for something petty

As love stared me in the eye's

How many times?

How many times?

Will I get that chance again?

How many times?

There's a simple understanding

In the moments undemanding of our notice

We build years and months and days

Until we're sudenly afraid of what we've chosen

Have I done all that I can?

Could I have been a better man?

I need to do more with these moments

Need do more with less time

It's time to ease from concentration

Into focus

And there's a friend that I once knew

And before his days were through

He was dark and he was stormy

But he could laugh at all the world

I loved him

Took it all in stride

And though I laughed only outside

I'd give my life to take the loneliness

That he had to endure

How many times?

How many times?

Did I get to see my friend alive

And think nothing of it?

How many times?

How many times?

Did I look upon his face

How many times?

And though he's gone now

I have this song now

And I'll still get to sit here

Remembering the lines

And though I'm not yet under

I can't help but wonder

Will we get this chance again

How many times?
