What Mattered Most Lyrics

What Mattered Most lyrics

(Gary Burr/Vince Melamed)



I thought I knew the girl so well

If she
was sad I couldn't tell

I missed the point, I missed the signs

So if
she's gone the fault is mine

I know, I know a whole lot of little
things

And even though I confess them one by one

She would still be
gone



Her eyes are blue, her hair is long

In '64 she was born in
Baton Rouge

Her favorite song is "In My Life"

I memorized her every
move

I knew her books, her car, her cloths

But I paid no attention to
what mattered most



I never asked, she never said

And when she
cried I turned my head

She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors

That
made them easy to ignore

And I know, I know I missed the forest for the
trees

And all I have to show oh when she walked out the door

The cold
facts and nothing more



Her eyes are blue, her hair is long

In '64
she was born in Baton Rouge

Her favorite song is "In My Life"

I
memorized her every move

I knew her books, her car, her cloths

But I
paid no attention to what mattered most



Her eyes are blue, her hair is
long

In 64 she was born in Baton Rouge

Her father's tall, her mother's
gone

She moved out west when she was two

The way she laughed, the way
she loved

Oh my God what did I do
