Doors

Jimmy Collins
I closed a door not long ago

Not knowing just where I would go.

I had no idea what was in store

As life offered me another door.

I turned the knob and pushed with might

And saw you there to my delight.

You simply took my breath away

Oh God, I hope you're here to stay.

I've learned some things in this ordeal

That life just likes to wheel and deal.

For when I believed in love no more

There it was that brand new door.

I'm happy that I went on through

And I'll cherish every moment I have with you.
