I've reached the point now where I'm not proud of Too many lovers that I've never loved And I've never questioned those empty days Until I met the woman that made me want to say CHORUS I think about all the time I've wasted I could've spent with you And all the lies I've fallen for while searching for the truth There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find Just like that wasted time
I've got a boy now, he's about half grown His momma raised him 'cause dad was always gone Well I was just so busy trying to make him proud The next time I see him I'm gonna tell him now REPEAT CHORUS Tonight I'll wait for a quiet time Close my eyes and open up my mind Bow my head down and say a little prayer And hope it's not too late for me to tell the man upstairs REPEAT CHORUS
