The Man Who Never Was
You gave her everything heart desired
Roped the moon for her
Down from the sky
The piggy-back rides through the tender years
Helped to put that twinkle
In her eyes
You saw her through the teenage heartaches
Supported her down
Every road she chose
Held the light for her in bitter darkness
Helped her bloom into
A lovely rose
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
And through the years I missed so many blessings
Taking pride
In the woman she's become
With tears and laughter sprinkled through each moment
I never was a part
Of any one
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
I walked away in anger
But if I could I would
Rewind my life
I walked away from love
And left the best part of me behind
Oh-ho-ho-hm-hm-hm
You twirled her playfully across the dance floor
On this special day
You gave the bride away
You held her newborn babies in your loving arms
Relishing those moments
Every day
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
I'm nothing but the man who never was
Roped the moon for her
Down from the sky
The piggy-back rides through the tender years
Helped to put that twinkle
In her eyes
You saw her through the teenage heartaches
Supported her down
Every road she chose
Held the light for her in bitter darkness
Helped her bloom into
A lovely rose
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
And through the years I missed so many blessings
Taking pride
In the woman she's become
With tears and laughter sprinkled through each moment
I never was a part
Of any one
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
I walked away in anger
But if I could I would
Rewind my life
I walked away from love
And left the best part of me behind
Oh-ho-ho-hm-hm-hm
You twirled her playfully across the dance floor
On this special day
You gave the bride away
You held her newborn babies in your loving arms
Relishing those moments
Every day
You're the woman who was always there
Holding her and taking care
I never took her fishing
Or called her just because
I'm just the man who never was
I'm nothing but the man who never was
