Forgot to Say I Love You - Butch Walker

I waited till the rain stopped coming down

Pulled off from the overpass

Wet from head to toe

And I haven’t seen the exit for this town

In 7 years or more, I feel

A burn hit my soul

The house looks pretty good painted all in white

But you’d hate the way they did the yard

And overstated fence

I can’t remember what you said that night

But I remember what you wore that day

The light shined through your dress

Just an inch of flesh it bared

Was enough to turn me on

Your hands on your hips

Your body young and tone

My mind is so lonely

Now that you’re gone

From there…

I forgot to say I love you

Telling you now won’t do us any good

If there’s a God that’s up above you

Hope he treats you better than this world could

Better than it could

You’d be proud of the man that our son’s become

He makes more money than I do

And he married John last spring

The pages of my story here are done

The road was long and dark at first

But I wouldn’t change a thing

And life has dealt so many cards

My gambling now is curbed

And we’re driving cross this desert

With your ashes in an urn

Cause we always said we’d see the country

When we’re old as dirt

Now here we are…

I forgot to say I love you

Telling you now won’t do us any good

If there’s a God that’s up above you

Hope he treats you better than this world could

Better than it could

I forgot to say I love you

Telling you now won’t do us any good

If there’s a God that’s up above you

Hope he treats you better than this world could

Better than it could

Now I’m the singer on the stage

It’s a job, but maybe it’s not

And I’ve finally come of age

My dad and I are in some parking lot

This Winnebago’s done it’s time

Crossed every state border line

Played quiet and played loud

My mom she would be proud

I thank you both I was allowed to be

The singer on the stage…
