[Intro]
Mmmhmm
Mmm mmm
[Verse 1]
Oh, girl
On the day you asked to wed
It was "no" I foolishly said
Oh, that made you cry
Oh, but now
That's a day I shall regret
'Cause since then someone you've met
Oh, that's filled your life
[Chorus]
I let love pass me by
I let a sweet love pass me by
[Verse 2]
Oh, I was young
And I felt I had the time
But I took too long to make up my mind
Oh, and now you're gone
Lookin' at me (Lookin' at me)
I see a man with wealth and fame
But sad for what I've no left to claim
Oh, the fault is mine
[Chorus]
I let love pass me by
I let a sweet love pass me by
[Bridge]
Oh, hear mе, baby
(Like a flower needs water)
I need your lovе
Oh, baby, please
Come on back (Come on back)
Help me (Help me)
Save me from myself, honey
Ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I
Can't change the years that were then
But if there's a chance to start again
Oh, well baby, let us try
Lookin' at you (Lookin' at you)
Your demands were not too great
Oh, but I found out too late
Oh, I've wasted my time
[Chorus]
I let love pass me by
I let a sweet love pass me by
Oh, bring it home, baby, let's try (I let love pass me by)
I let a sweet love, sweet love pass me by
I let love pass me by
I let a sweet love, a sweet love pass me by
Oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah (I let love pass me by)
I let a sweet love, a sweet love pass me by
Mmmhmm
Mmm mmm

Oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah (I let love pass me by)
I let a sweet love, a sweet love pass me by
