I wish I would have listened
To the words she use to say-
Perhaps I'd feel more peaceful
With the flowers that I now lay.

So often she would tell me
The day would soon be here-
And times we shared together
Would surely disappear.

But I kept myself believing
That life would be real long-
There'd always be tomorrow
I wish that I'd been wrong.

I sure do miss her laughter
I know now what she meant-
Today will hold the memories
Not ones in which we'd spent.

The feelings that I have inside
She felt both day and night-
And now I wish I'd took the chance
To make our love be right.

If only I would have listened
To the words I use to say-
Perhaps I'd feel more peaceful
With the flowers that I now lay.
