GO OUT OF YOUR WAY

she told me that i didn't need
to go out of my way
she knew that i had tickets
for the playoff game today
she said that she'd been missing me
and just wanted to say hi
but i could tell she needed to be held
by the way she said goodbye

i don't have to catch her
every time she falls
i don't need to come running
every time she calls
but i gave away that ticket
and showed up at her door
some things are worth going
out of your way for

   you've got to go out of your way
   to keep love strong
   through the ups and downs each day
   a narrow path ain't always straight
   sometimes down the road of love
   you've got to go out of your way

like a young child needs attention
and a flower needs the rain
a heart needs reassuring
that love remains
sometimes it's the little things
that say you will be there
sometimes it's to the moon and back
just to show how much you care
