I never said I loved you as I should have done

I never told you darling you're the only one

Will I do on regretting now my whole life through

The things I didn't do?



I never held my arms around you long enough

I never dared to make my kisses strong enough

Will I do on regretting now my whole life through

The things I didn't do?



I was too much afraid, afraid to get burned

In a one way romance!

So now I'm alone, too late I have learned

I never gave love a chance!



But if there is an answer to my every prayer

If you can find within your heart that you still care

I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you

The things I didn't do!



< instrumental break >



I never gave love a chance!



But if there is an answer to my every prayer

If you can find within your heart that you still care

I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you

The things . . . The things I didn't do!
