But You Didn't By Merrill Glass

But You Didn't
-------------------


Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.

Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal,
and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.

Remember the times I'd flirt with other boys just to make you jealous,
and you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy,
to love me,
and there are so many things I wanted to tell you
when you returned from
Vietnam...
But you didn't.
