Sweetest Tie
Mel Tillis · I Ain't Never [1972]
(Wayne P. Walker)
An empty mailbox and the silent telephone
Has quickly made me realize that something's wrong
While crazy thoughts go racing through my tangled mind
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.
Those long and lonely night I left you all alone
Those little thoughts of kindness that I'd never shown
Were things that seem so unimportant at the time
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
Oh Lord, if I could just reverse the hands of time
A million kisses for each heartache you would find
But I had my chance and I fell to see the morning sun
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind...
An empty mailbox and the silent telephone
Has quickly made me realize that something's wrong
While crazy thoughts go racing through my tangled mind
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.
Those long and lonely night I left you all alone
Those little thoughts of kindness that I'd never shown
Were things that seem so unimportant at the time
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
Oh Lord, if I could just reverse the hands of time
A million kisses for each heartache you would find
But I had my chance and I fell to see the morning sun
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind...
