Things I Should Have Said

I didn't cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"

Was it that she
Just couldn't understand a man like me
Was I to blame
Did I leave too many things unexplained?

Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way

Why didn't I try telling her
She was all I had
Why didn't I try telling her
Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad

I didn't cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Things I should have said to her

John GolofitLate Summer/Fall 1967. That Time just had a different feel to it. The World was different. The music was different. And to 11 year olds soon to be 12 such as myself-well we were just soaking it all in and growing. It was becoming part of us and our memories...
