Why Didn't I Think of That
Charley Pride · Make Mine Country [RCA Victor] [1968]
(Jack Green - Clay Allen - Glaser)
I hear your new love sends you something different each day
And he never forget to call you whenever he's away
He sends you flowers and candy tied in ribbons of blue
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you.
He takes you dancing out with the crowd
And when you walk beside him he looks so proud
He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?
But I was so concerned with other things I couldn't see
How lonely you were for the love you never got from me
I should have told you every day I was thankful for you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?...
I hear your new love sends you something different each day
And he never forget to call you whenever he's away
He sends you flowers and candy tied in ribbons of blue
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you.
He takes you dancing out with the crowd
And when you walk beside him he looks so proud
He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?
But I was so concerned with other things I couldn't see
How lonely you were for the love you never got from me
I should have told you every day I was thankful for you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you?...
