I Couldn’t (I’m Sorry)

By Lee! Dietrich

I’m staring at your picture frame
It’s your eyes inside that keep me awake
I can hear the rain pouring down outside
And with tears gone cold, I wonder why…
I could never bring myself to say
With a smile on my face and my heart tucked away…

Chorus:
I couldn’t say goodbye
No I wonder where you are
And now that you’ve gone away (away)
I pray It’s not that far
‘Cause when I see you again
I hope that you’ll still be my friend
Holly baby, I love you.

Silver chains and your pet license
Are the only things that you have left
Sometimes I call out to you at night
Then stop midway and shut my eyes
‘Cause I remember that you’re gone
And now alone…It feels so wrong…

Chorus:
I couldn’t say goodbye
No I wonder where you are
And now that you’ve gone away (away)
I pray It’s not that far
‘Cause when I see you again
I hope that you’ll still be my friend
Holly baby, I love you.
Holly baby, I love you.
