• "I looked at you and smiled the other day
    I thought you'd see me, but you didn't
    I said I loved you and waited for what you'd say
    I thought you'd hear me, but you didn't
    I asked you to come outside and play ball with me
    I thought you'd follow me, but you didn't
    I drew a picture just for you to see
    I thought you'd save it forever, but you didn't
    I made a fort for you back in the woods
    I thought you'd camp out with me, but you didn't
    I found some worms and stuff for fishing
    I thought you'd want to go with me, but you didn't
    I needed you just to talk to, to share my thoughts with
    I thought you'd want to, but you didn't
    I told you about this game, hoping you'd show up to play
    I thought you'd surely come, but you didn't
    I asked you to share my youth with me
    I thought you'd want to, but you couldn't
    My country called me off to war
    You asked me to come home safely, but I didn't."
