But You Didn't (Menll Glass)

Remember the time you lent me your car and i dented it?
I thought you'd kill me
But you didn't

Remember the time i forgot to tell you the dance was
Formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me
But you didn't

Remember the times i flirt with
Other boys just to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd drop me
But you didn't

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
To keep me happy, to love me, and there are
So many things i wanted to tell
You when you returned from Vietnam....
But you didn't


Two Hearts

Two hearts dancing
One with gaiety
The other with sorrow.
Music, though enchanting,
The other could not follow.

Did he not know?
Could not tell?
How much i love him so,
I was sure he could foretell.

His eyes, so much of innocence,
So much of sensitivity.
To him, i am meaningless,
Through my pretenses he could not see.

The music is dying.
He walks away, leaving me
I felt like crying,
For this love is only meant for thee.
