I looked at you and smiled the other day I thought you'd see me but you didn't I said "I love you" and waited for what you would say I thought you'd hear me but you didn't I asked you to come outside and play ball with me I thought you'd follow me but you didn't I drew a picture just for you to see I thought you'd save it but you didn't I made a fort for us back in the woods I thought you'd camp with me but you didn't I found some worms 'n such for fishing if we could I thought you'd want to but you didn't I told you about the game hoping you'd be there I thought you'd surely come but you didn't I asked you to share my youth with me I thought you'd want to but you couldn't My country called me to war, you asked me to come home safely But I didn't. |
