Things get in the way    The rush of everyday    Ordinary stuff we all get into    Wouldn't it be sad, if all you ever had    Was a granite epitaph that said, 'I meant to'       [chorus]   So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss    Any crazy thing I didn't do, I meant to      Any dirty liar, I didn't stare right in the eye    And make him tell the naked truth, I meant to      I'm always on the run some things get lost some things get done    But if I didn't have all the fun I meant to, I meant to      And if I never came out and said to each and everyone    I love, how much I really do, I meant to      Maybe this one chance    Is all we really have    Maybe all you got, is what you get to    Well I ain't gonna cry    I'll give it my best try    Then kiss the world goodbye and say, 'I meant to'       [chorus]      I meant to    I meant to
