Riley O'Connell
.
As a young girl of seventeen summers
Riley O'Connell felt she knew ev'rything,
Many would fall 'neath the spell of her beauty
She saw not their heartache or pain
.
Riley O'Connell she knew not the power,
The smile of a young girl holds over a man
Her Daddy said "Riley tread softly my darlin'
Love may come once then never again"
.
(Chorus)
When love comes your way Riley O'Connell
Don't tarry don't waste precious time
When love knocks at your door, Riley be waitin'
Hold it close to your heart treat it kind
There are many who long for love Riley
There are many that love passes by ... so
When love comes your way Riley O'Connell
Welcome it into your life
.
(INST)

VERSE 2.
Riley O'Connell took time to listen
She loved her Daddy and thought him so wise
Now Riley O'Connell is Riley O'Brien
Love found her waiting and love changed her life
.
(Chorus)
When love comes your way like Riley O'Connell
Don't tarry don't waste precious time
When it knocks at your door, Riley be waitin'
Hold it close to your heart treat it kind
There are many who long for love Riley
There are many that love passes by ... so
When love comes your way like Riley O'Connell
Welcome it into your life
.
When love comes your way Riley O'Connell
Welcome it into your life
.
