Dr. Hook - The Things I Didn't Say lyrics

(Shel Silverstein) 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 it, 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 her in my arms and kiss away her tears I didn't say "My life don't mean a thing 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 a talk" I didn't say "The motorway is such a long and lonely, endless walk" I said "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you", then she walked away And left me here to live with all the things I didn't say And now I guess she'll never hear the things I didn't say (c)1972 Tro-Ess** Music Ltd.
