I wasn't there behind you
Where the wind blows cold
Wasn't there to comfort you at all
I wasn't there last winter
When the whole lake froze
Wasn't there in Spring
To see it thaw
I wasn't there in Summer
When the farm went broke
Wasn't there to help you with it all
When I heard you1d lost your child
You know my blood ran cold
I wasn't there
I wasn't there at all
In the night there are stars
And they're shinin' up above
And as sure as there are stars
I'm sure we were in love
Sure we were in love
I wasn't there in Summer
When the farm went broke
Wasn't there to help you with it all
When I heard you1d lost your child
You know my blood ran cold
I wasn't there
I wasn't there at all
I wasn't there in Summer
When the farm went broke
Wasn't there to help you with it all
When I heard you1d lost your child
You know my blood ran cold
I wasn't there
I wasn't there at all
In the night there are stars
And they're shinin' up above
And as sure as there are stars
I'm sure we were in love
Sure we were in love
For some there are excuses
For others there are none
I know guilt is useless
For those things I left undone
I didn't see you crying
All those times I didn't call
I wasn't there beside you in the Fall
No I wasn't there at all
In the night there are stars
And they're shinin' up above
And as sure as there are stars
I am sure that we're in love
For sure we are in love.
