Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

How I Wanted To

When we parted just like friends

We never tied loose ends

I could never say the words that would make amends

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

To say I loved you

To say I loved you

Oh how I wanted to

From my blue room did you creep

A love too rare to keep

Well I heard your step and I turned my head to weep

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Say I loved you

Say I loved you

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Say I loved you

Just say I loved you

Oh how I wanted to

Now hearts do what hearts will

And my nights are sleepless still

Well I never was the one to speak my fill

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Just say I loved you

Ah just say I loved you

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Oh how I wanted to

Say I loved you

Just say I loved you

Oh how I wanted to
