Did I Ever

Did I ever tell you how much I loved you?
I wish I had but the time is too late
And words mean nothing any longer

And did I ever tell you how much you meant to me?
All those times you thought I was mad
You may have thought that I didn't care

And did I ever tell you how much it would hurt
when the day came that you would be gone?
Out of my life forever, and I can't take that back

Did I ever say I was sorry for the all the times I hurt you?
I would say it now, but would you hear?
Or maybe you've forgiven me anyhow.

I never took the time to say and do
All these things that I should have done
But somehow I know - or hope inside - that you always knew
How much I loved you, how much you meant, and how much it hurts
And with that thought, I know inside, that you watch me each morning, day and night
And for all the times I did care for you, I hear your gently voice say "Thank you"
