if she was sad, I couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the

but I paid,    no  attention   to 
what mattered most

Verse 2
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed
 doors
That made them easy to ignore
And I know, I know, I missed the 
forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
Or would she walk out the door?
The cold facts and nothin' more

Chorus

Chorus 2
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long,
   sixy four
she was born, in Batton Rouge,
Her father's tall, her mother's 
gone,
She moved out when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she 
loved,
Oh my God what did I do?
