I set out on a narrow way
many years ago, hoping I would find true love
along the broken road. but i got lost a time or two.
wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you.
"You know, I came to New York to find my true love. That was like, what, six years ago? If it was a road, it was definitely a broken road. You know, the type with pot holes everywhere. I thought I was on the right path a few times, but in reality I had gotten lost. I kept trying though, and I was always confused because every sign was saying "ROGER ROGER ROGER!" and I kind of always freaked out.
Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
pointing my way into your loving arms
this much I know is true. God blessed the broken road,
that led me straight to you
"Every dream I had as a kid seemed to be able to come true when I was around you. People like Maureen, well she just showed me how much I needed someone like you. Now that I'm here in your arms, I think I know that God blessed my road. Yes, Jews believe in God Roger. I know your thinking about that. And I believe that he blessed the path that went to you."
I think about the years I spent
just passing through
I'd like to have the years I lost, and give it back to you.
But you just smile and take my hand.
You've been there you understand.
It's all part of a grander plan that's coming true.
"You know I wish I would have realized this sooner. I wish I go back to the first day I met you and just tackle you and tell you I love you. I know you're okay with it, and every time I bring it up all you do is smile and hold my hand. You probably understand. I mean, you have less time then I do. Wait, no I'm not going to think about that. La la la not going to think about you dying. Moving on. I wonder if God planned this. For me. For you too of course. It's just part of the big plan, me and you."
Every long lost dream led me to where you are.
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern starts
pointing me on my way into your loving arms.
this much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you.
"Do you remember Nannette? The rabbi's daughter? Did I ever mention why she broke up with me? It was because she thought I was too in love with you. That was back in sophomore year. We were what, fifteen years old? Even then I think I probably loved you. Sure, when Nannette mentioned it I freaked out and denied it, but now that I think back I'm sure she was right. It's weird, that I could love you for that long and not be smart enough to mention it. It took me five years to realize it, ten to act. Shows how smart I am huh?"
But now I'm just rolling home
into my lover's arms
this much I know is true
God blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you.
"I can't believe soon I'll have to go home and you won't be there. I just wish I could be in your arms right now Roger. I guess that's wishful thinking of course. I miss you. I'm sure I was meant to be with you. We were soul mates Roger. I won't be able to get over you. I have to go now though. Collins is here, and he keeps looking at me with these pitying looks. I wish I would have known how much that sucked when Angel died. I hope I'll see you again one day Roger. I love you. I'll always love you."
God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
