How did I miss the messenger br when you sang so loud and clear? br How did I miss that message? br Did you try to make me hear? br br Is my life so darn important br that I'd overlook a friend? br Am I blind to such emotions? br Did I sense you near the end? br br Perhaps I should have taken br just one more closer look. br Maybe I could have noticed br the way your soul had shook. br br My eyes are now wide open. br Through tears I'll try to see. br Next time that you are troubled br please Tara, lean on me.
