Did she need a stronger hand?   Did she need a lighter touch?   Was I soft or was I tough?   Did I give enough, did I give too much?      At the moment that she needed me   Did I ever turn away?   Would I be there when she called   If she walked into my life today?      Did she mind the lonely nights?   Did she count the empty days?   Was I silent, was I cold?   Was I quick to scold was I slow to praise?      And there must have a been a million things   That my heart to forgot to say   Would I think of one or two   If she walked into my life today?      Would I blame the times I pampered her   Or blame the times that I lost her?   What a shame, I never really found the girl   Before I lost her      Were the years a little fast?   Was her world a little free?   Was there too much of a crowd   All too lush and loud and not enough of me?      Though I'll ask my whole life through   What went wrong along the way   Would I make the same mistakes   If she walked into my life today?
