[Introduction] I did not treat you as the treasure that you were. In a very real sense I was blind. And now I wonder how you ever endured With a man who had nearly lost his mind. And when my eyes were opened, I was drowning in regret. There was nothing quite as painful as the guilt that I felt…… There were many things I should have refrained. The love it cost – can it e’er come back again? [Interlude] They say hindsight is twenty-twenty. Yet that may take time to become clear. And the cost to a soul is often plenty. How painful are the doubts and the fear. There were many things I should have refrained. The love it cost – can it e’er come back again?...... _____ We are told we must forgive every man, if we are to be forgiven by the Lord. The hardest to forgive is myself, I have found, — Still I must obey his every word. There are many things that now I have refrained. The love it cost — (can it e’er come back again?) [Outro]
