Slipped the key into the lock
And turned it slow to open up
A doorway to a flood of memories

There's the couch where you read me books
And taught me about right and wrong
And I feel so worng for pushing you away

Cause there was so much to say
And I wish I’d made time
But I was always to damn busy living my own life
Now it’s sinking in that I’ll never be
Able to thank you for all those things that you gave to me

Never thought I’d be so hard
to pack a life that now is gone
And watch a grieving widow in her pain

There's nothing now I can say or do
to change things between me and you
I just wish I could have made my peace

Cause there was so much to say
And I wish I’d made time
But I was always to damn busy living my own life
Now it’s sinking in that I’ll never be
Able to thank you for all those things that you gave to me

Now I’m back in this old house again
That I haven’t seen in years
Can't help but thinking that your gonna walk in
Then I gotta to take a deep breath
and remember this is real
And be strong

Cause there was so much to say
And I wish I’d made time
But I was always to damn busy living my own life
Now it’s sinking in that I’ll never be
Able to thank you for all those things that you gave to me
