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



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 so say?



If I'd only been more loving

When she needed a best friend

If I'd only patched up 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"



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 so say?



She should be in my arms tonight

But who am I to say?
