Didn't I

(Dottie West)



Didn't I try hard enough

To understand your ways

Didn't I stay strong enough

Through all our stormy days.



Like I'd be clinging to our little house

So close were you and I

Then came the day you just walked away

And I lost you didn't I?



Didn't I kiss you often enough

Didn't I hold you tight

And didn't I say I love you

Each time we kissed goodnight.



Darling, please tell me what I didn't do

'Cause I tried so hard to make you see

But above everything in this world

You were all that was meant for me.



And you know I've thought I was all that you wanted

In fact you've told me so

But I guess I failed somewhere along the way

And just where I'd give my life to know.



Like I'd be clinging to our little house

So close were you and I

Then came the day you just walked away

And I lost you didn't I?...
