Song Lyrics

I wish I had a dollar
For every time I was unkind
I wish I'd had an answer
For all the questions on her mind

I wish I'd had the time
For all the times she needed me
I wish I'd realized
But I was much too blind to see

All she wanted was to love me
But all I did was turn away
If I'd known how much she needed me
She might be here today

And if I'd only been more open
And understood her ways
She might be in my arms tonight
But who am I so say?

If I'd only been more loving
When she needed a best friend
If I'd only patched up pieces
That she needed me to mend

If I'd seen her troubled heart
And figured out just what to do
She might be laying here tonight
And saying, "I love you"

All she wanted was to love me
But all I did was turn away
If I'd known how much she needed me
She might be here today

And if I'd only been more open
And understood her ways
She might be in my arms tonight
But who am I so say?

She should be in my arms tonight
But who am I to say?
