Carmen McRae - Carmen Sings Monk

How I Wish... (Remastered)

Once you said you loved me
Placed no one above me
Prayed for me to make that vow

What dumb thing did I say?
So busy being blasé
How I wish you'd ask me now

I was vain and blind then
Prone to be unkind then
Wish they'd turn back time somehow
Then I was audacious
I ignored what was precious
How I wish you'd ask me now

I thought then I'd always be all footloose and fancy-free
How could I have been so blind?
What I once made light of turns out to be true love

Once my ego ruled me
Flattered me and fooled me
More times than the laws allow
You asked me, could I care?
My attention was elsewhere
How I wish you'd ask me now

You asked me, could I care?
My attention was elsewhere
How I wish you'd ask me now
