The things I didn’t say
I didn’t say ‘ Don’t do it babe’
When she packed up to go
I didn’t say ‘ come back here honey
And try with me once more’
And when she asked me if I loved her
I just turned away
She’s gone and now I’m hearing
All the things I didn’t say
I didn’t say “I ‘m sorry babe,
Cause half the fault was mine “
I didn’t say “ We’ll work it out,
Cause all we need is love and faith and time”
I said “ If that’s the way you want,
I won’t stand in your way”
She’s gone ,and now I’m hearing All the things I didn’t say
I didn’t take he in my arms and kiss away her tear
I didn’t say “ My life don’t mean
Athing if you ain’t here
I thought of all the many games I’d be free to play
But all I do is listen to
The things I didn’t say
I didn’t say “ Take off your coat…
I’ll make some coffee ,and we’ll talk”
I didn’t say “ The road way is such
Along and lonely endless walk”
I said “ good bye-good luck,
God bless you” and She slipped away
And left me here to live with all
The things I didn’t say.
