The Things I Didn`t Say — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(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
