More love
I should have listened more and listened well
I should have been your shelter in the rain
I should have touched you more and held you closer
'Til I felt it melt your quiet pain
Should have had more time to spare for you
should have been there for you, to care for you,
with more love, more love
and I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers passing through my nights
I could have cuddled near your gentle flame
been warmer there than in these glaring lights
should have had more time to spare for you
should have been there for you, to care for you
with more love, more love, more love
and what would it have taken if only could have taken
my eyes off of me for a while
I'd have seen the hurtin hidin just behind the curtain of your smile
oh, I swore I didn't know, which goes to show
How long it takes a man to be a man, baby
but if I say enough
and try enough
and pray enough
and cry enough
I can, still can
have more time to spare for you
always be there for you, to care for you
with more love, more love, more love
I should have listened more and listened well
I should have been your shelter in the rain
I should have touched you more and held you closer
'Til I felt it melt your quiet pain
Should have had more time to spare for you
should have been there for you, to care for you,
with more love, more love
and I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers passing through my nights
I could have cuddled near your gentle flame
been warmer there than in these glaring lights
should have had more time to spare for you
should have been there for you, to care for you
with more love, more love, more love
and what would it have taken if only could have taken
my eyes off of me for a while
I'd have seen the hurtin hidin just behind the curtain of your smile
oh, I swore I didn't know, which goes to show
How long it takes a man to be a man, baby
but if I say enough
and try enough
and pray enough
and cry enough
I can, still can
have more time to spare for you
always be there for you, to care for you
with more love, more love, more love
