If She Walked Into My Life

Did she need a stronger hand?

Did she need a lighter touch?

Was I soft, or was I tough?

Did I give enough?

Did I give too much?

At the moment that she needed me

Did I ever turn away?

Would I be there when she called?

If she walked in to my life today?

Did she mind the lonely nights?

Did she count the empty days?

Was I silent, was I cold?

Was I to quick to scold?

Was I too slow to praise?

And there must have been a million things

My old heart forgot to say

Would I think of one or two?

If she walked into my life today

Should I blame the times I pampered her

Or blame the times I bust her

What a drag

I never really found the girl before I lost her

Where the years a little fast?

Was the world a little free?

Was there too much of the crowd

All too lush and loud

And not enough of me?

Though I'll ask myself my whole life long

What went wrong along the way?

Would I make the same mistakes

If she walked into my life today?
