(Otis Clay)
Your lips are as warm as summer breezes,
Your eyes like stars a shimmers in the night,
Your arms as soft as willow trees,
And now you're gone and I don't know why.
(Chorus)
Gates swing and love goes strolling by,
I sit and watch it with a broken heart and wondering why,
When love finds its way back
Will it be too late
Gates swing and love goes on by.
Every time I see the twilight fading,
Thoughts of you come rushin' through my mind,
I try and try but never seem to learn,
That life without you is hard to find.
(Chorus)
Gates swing and love goes strolling by,
I sit and watch it with a broken heart and wondering why,
When love finds its way back
Will it be too late
Gates swing and love goes on by.
Oh baby it's been so long,
Been so long since you've been gone,
But when love finally finds its way back
My gate will still be swingin' for love on by.
(Chorus)
Gates swing and love goes strolling by,
I sit and watch it with a broken heart and wondering why,
Will love find its way back
Will it be too late
Gates swing and love goes on by.
Gates Swing and love goes on by.
