I really
liked the first one
So I bought
the other volumes
But I haven’t
picked them up
Since the day
they came
On my shelf
they’re really pretty
But they’re
dusty from just sitting
And like most
things in my life
They’ll stay
that way
They’re
probably full of info
If I could
find the time to skim through
I could read
of all the things
I’d only seen
People always
warned me
That I’d grow
up feeling lonely
And I now
know just exactly
What they
mean
All I ever
wanted
Was to care
for what was mine
Although I
really loved you
I just
couldn’t find the time
And I didn’t
care
I couldn’t
find the time
I just didn’t
care
My brother
then reminds me
That my Dad
just had a birthday
And a wish
from me
Was one week
overdue
Guilt had
overcome me
So I dialed
up the family
Who I lived
with all those years
But never
knew
I know our
God is patient
And he
wouldn’t mind the wait
When I had
sworn I change
My life’s
road someday
But each time
I hear the good news
My ears
always seem to refuse
And it
hardened up my heart
In many ways
All I ever
wanted
Was to care
for what was mine
Although I
really loved you
I just
couldn’t find the time
And I didn’t
care
I couldn’t
find the time
I just didn’t
care
All I ever
wanted
Was to care
for what was mine
Although I
really loved you
I just
couldn’t find the time
And I didn’t
care
I couldn’t
find the time
I just didn’t
care
I couldn’t
find the time
I really
liked the first one
So I bought
the other volumes
But I haven’t
picked them up
Since the day
they came
All I ever
wanted
Was to care
for what was mine
Although I
really loved you
I just
couldn’t find the time
And I didn’t
care
I couldn’t
find the time
I just didn’t
care
