Did she need a stronger hand? Did she need a lighter touch? Was I soft, or was I tough? Did I give enough? Did I give too much? At the moment that she needed me Did I ever turn away? Would I be there when she called? If she walked in to my life today? Did she mind the lonely nights? Did she count the empty days? Was I silent, was I cold? Was I to quick to scold? Was I too slow to praise? And there must have been a million things My old heart forgot to say Would I think of one or two? If she walked into my life today Should I blame the times I pampered her Or blame the times I bust her What a drag I never really found the girl before I lost her Where the years a little fast? Was the world a little free? Was there too much of the crowd All too lush and loud And not enough of me? Though I'll ask myself my whole life long What went wrong along the way? Would I make the same mistakes If she walked into my life today?
