Sweetest Tie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An empty mailbox and the silent telephone
Has quickly made me realize that something's wrong
While crazy thoughts go racing through my tangled mind
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
Those long and lonely night I left you all alone
Those little thoughts of kindness that I'd never shown
Were things that seem so unimportant at the time
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
Oh Lord if I could just reverse the hands of time
A million kisses for each heartache you would find
But I had my chance and I fell to see the morning sun
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind
