I hear your new love sends you pretty something different each day

And he never forget to call you whenever he's away

He sends you flowers and candy tied in ribbons of blue

Why didn't I think of that before I lost you

He takes you dancing out with the crowd

And when you walk beside him he looks so proud

He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do

Why didn't I think of that before I lost you

But I was so concerned with other things I couldn't see

How lonely you were for the love you never got from me

I should have told you every day I was thankful for you

Why didn't I think of that before I lost you

Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
