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 into my life Today Did she mind the lonely nights? Did she count the empty days? Was I silent, was I cold? Was I quick to scold? Was I slow to praise? And there must have been A million things That my heart forgot to say Would I think of one or two? If she walked into my life Today Would I blame the times I'd pampered her? Or blame the times that I'd lost her? What a shame I never really found the girl Before I lost her Were the years a little fast? Was her world a little free? Was there too much of a crowd? All too lush and loud And not enough of me? Though I'll ask myself My whole life through What went wrong along the way? Would I make the same mistakes? If she walked into my life Today
