Shame on Me

(Lawton Williams - Bill Enis)



Shame on me for hurting you

What can I say, what can I do

Last night I was blind but today I see

I did you wrong, shame on me.



You say you won't be seein' me again

You say we're through

I wouldn't want to see the sunrise tomorrow

If I knew that to be true.



I know that just sayin' I'm sorry

Doesn't sound quite a lot

But the man you saw me with last night

means no more to me

Than the thousand stars

To the great clouds that cover the night

The more I look at him the more I realize

How very much I love you.



Shame on me for hurting you

What can I say, what can I do

Last night I was blind but today I see

I did you wrong, shame on me.



I'll admit I shouldn't have

Given into love's wild temptation

With someone I cared nothing for

I was blind and I hurt you.



But can you ever forgive the fool

The fool who really loves you

Last night I was blind but today I see

I did you wrong shame on me...
