Tender Words

When you brought me flowers
Then I should've told you
Just how much you pleased me

But instead I murmured
Just a very polite
"I thank you kindly."

For all your kind and thoughtful ways
I never took the time to think of you

You needed tender words.
Tender words, of love

Each day that we spent together
Should've been a new joy and sensation

To make my world a happy place
Was your only thought and inspiration

But I was not a giver, just a taker,
Without a thought of you

Where were my tender words.
Tender words, of love

Now that you're not with me
My days no longer hold your sweet surprises

And more than that my lonely nights
Remind me that you once laid beside me

Words come back to haunt me
Those silent words I always meant to say

Unspoken tender words.
Tender words, of love
