I left you alone when you needed me
And I hurt you when I said that we were through
Now I've learned since you've gone
That you were right and I was wrong
And I'd give all I have to be with you

Cause I know there are times
When I must have been blind
When lovin'you was all I had to do

If I'd given you more understanding
I would've realized that I was unfair
Takin' more than I should, until you left me for good
Now I'd give all I have to be with you

Cause I know there are times
When I must have been blind
When lovin' you was all I had to do

Now I've learned since you've gone
That you were right and I was wrong
And I'd give all I have to be with you

Cause I know there are times




Lord, when I must have been blind
When lovin' you was all I had to do
