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 I have had more time to spare for you

should have been there for you, to care for you

with more love, more love



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



what would it have taken if only could have taken

my eyes off me for a while

Id have seen the hurtin hidin just behind the curtain of your smile

oh, I swear I didnt know, which goes to show

How long it takes a man to be a man

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
