When I was just a young boy 
My mama said to me 
Don't fall in love willingly  
 
Now that is all forgotten 
Unwilling memory  
 
But if you change your mind 
I will walk the line 
I'll follow.... 
Willingly  
 
We used to talk about it 
But now it seems the wind has blown your way 
And I have come to doubt it 
That you and I will ever love again  
 
'Cause good enough is one thing 
That I will never be 
And I admit it all 
Willingly  
 
And now the times are changing 
The things I've seen before don't look the same 
My life is rearranging 
But falls apart with whispers of your name  
 
And though I swear to love you 
With all sincerity 
I'll slowly fade away 
Willingly  
 
The sun is on my shoulders 
Perhaps it's colder for I've lost some pride 
Or maybe it's the absence 
Of all the joy I felt right by your side  
 
And when the storm was over 
I found your memory 
And I will hold it warm 
Willingly
