I recall the time

you woulda been mine

if I'd only said the word.

But you took your lumps

the bruises and bumps.

Yet not a sound could be heard.

I had my dreams,

my madman schemes

anything I wanted, I would do.

The world was mine

no hills unclimbed

But I never seemed to have

the time for you.

//

Where do you begin

when dreams wear thin,

to say the things you never could.

To sort whats real

from all you feel.

I guess I never was that good.

We tried to hide

inside our pride.

Thought we'd never have to face the truth.

And though we tried,

can't be denied.

I never seemed to have

the time for you.

//

When I look back

not often, at that,

and see the things I mighta done.

I've no regrets,

least as of yet.

I wouldn't change a single one.

I lived my life.

It was worth the price.

I paid my debts when they came due.

Though from time to time

I seem to find

that I wish that I had made

the time for you.
