More Love

I should have listened more and listened well
 I should have been your shelter in the rain
 I should have touched you more and held you closer
 'Til I felt it melt your quiet pain
 Should I have had more time to spare for you
 should have been there for you, to care for you
 with more love, more love
 I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers
 passing through my nights
 I could have cuddled near your gentle flame
 been warmer there than in these glaring lights
 Should have had more time to spare for you
 should have been there for you, to care for you
 with more love, more love, more love
 What would it have taken if only could have taken
 my eyes off me for a while
 I'd have seen the hurtin' hidin' just behind the curtain of your smile
 oh, I swear I didn't know, which goes to show
 How long it takes a man to be a man
 but if I say enough
 and try enough
 and pray enough
 and cry enough
 I can still can
 have more time to spare for you
 always be there for you, to care for you
 with more love, more love, more love needed just more love.
