“I could have been there within your reach
This is not self pity of which I speak
I never took time to see how you'd grown
I never took the care it takes to know
Never took the time to see what you'd found
But always had the time to bring you down
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
? ? ? - that I believed in you”
I could have been there within your reach
This is not self pity of which I speak

I never took the care it takes to know
Never took the time to see what you'd found

I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
