I Was Too Busy Loving You
Jimmy Webb
[Verse 1]
When was the time you first thought of leaving
And hid it away in back of your smile?
And then slowly, surely we came apart
Seconds to inches, minutes to miles
[Chorus]
And it was so easy, I was too blind
To notice what everyone else could see
I was too busy loving you
To see you slipping away from me
[Verse 2]
When do we lose the things that we cherish?
We blindly believe the world's on our side
And from the very first time I took it for granted
I'd already lost you, you'd already lied to me, girl
[Chorus]
And it was so easy, I was too blind
To notice what everyone else could see
I was too busy loving you
To see you slipping away
Couldn't see you slipping away from me
