Song | She Didn't Have Time |
Artist | Terri Clark |
Album | The Definitive Collection |
作曲 : Pat Bunch | |
He said goodbye from the edge of the porch | |
Like she'd been some casual friend | |
He said, "You're better off without meI'm not what you need", like her momma had said about him | |
He started the car, pulled out of the drive | |
Didn't waste any time lookin' back | |
She watched him go, thinkin' even a stranger | |
Would show more compassion than that | |
She could've cried but she didn't have time | |
She had a baby to feed | |
A pink blanket to find | |
To rock their little one to sleep | |
She could've laid in bed for hours | |
Giving misery the power | |
But she didn't have time | |
She got a sitter, she got a job' | |
Cause she had a promise to keep | |
Her day was a factory and evening survival | |
At night was exhaustion and sleep | |
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by | |
And watching was all she could do | |
Her friends said, "You gotta get outta the houseAnd maybe you'll meet someone new" | |
She could've tried but she didn't have time | |
She had a five year old to feed | |
She had ballet class, piano lessons | |
And T-ball little league | |
She could've laid awake for hours | |
Giving lonely nights the power | |
But she didn't have the time | |
Not time where would she find the time | |
To trust a man again | |
Not time for that flat tire | |
In a crowded parking lot and then | |
Not time but yes have coffee with the man | |
That got her tire fixed | |
She was thinking, “ | |
Gosh he's handsome” | |
When he asked, "Do you have kids"? | |
She could've lied but she didn't have time | |
All she said was "She's five" | |
He said, "I saw the car seat I love kidsDoes she have your eyes?" | |
And they sat and talked for hours | |
Giving destiny it's power | |
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night | |
But she didn't have time | |
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night | |
But she didn't have time |
