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

(Chorus)
All she wanted was to love me
but all I did was to turn away
if I'd known how much she needed me
she might be here today
and if I'd been more open
and understood her ways
She might be in my arms tonight
but who am I to say

If I'd only been more loving
when she needed a best friend
If I'd only patched the 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.

(Chorus)
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 to say.
She should be in my arms tonight,
but who am I to say.
