How I Wish . . .

Carmen McRae

once you said you loved me
placed no one above me
prayed for me to make that vow
what dumb thing did I say
so busy being blasé
how I wish you'd ask me now

I was vain and blind then
prone to be unkind then
wish they'd turn back time somehow
then I was audacious
I ignored what was precious
how I wish you'd ask me now

I thought then I'd always be
all footloose and fancy free
how could I have been so blind
what I once made light of
turned out to be true love

once my ego ruled me
flattered me and fooled me
more times than the laws allow
you asked me could I care
my attention was elsewhere
how I wish you'd ask me now
