Wish I would have listened more

Oh, I wish I could turn back the pages

Right to those old days in my mind

Lessons I missed, words I ignored

Now I see what I left behind

Growing up, I thought I knew it all

Disregarded that gentle call

They said, "Be careful," I’d scorn and run

Now I’m left with what I’ve undone

If I could rewrite history, I’d change my ways

Hold onto every moment, cherish all those days

Time’s a fleeting shadow, slipping through my hands

I’d love them more, I’d understand their plans

I should have listened, loved them more

Told them I cared before they closed that door

Now I wish I could go back in time

To hold them close, make everything right

I’d do anything to turn back the clock

Love and respect, more than I ever did block

Oh, I wish I could go back and see

Them as the heart of my eternity

Their sacrifices, silent and pure

Now I see their hearts were my cure

Every word of advice was gold

Lessons I ignored, stories untold

If I could rewrite history, I’d change my ways

Hold onto every moment, cherish all those days

Time’s a fleeting shadow, slipping through my hands

I’d love them more, I’d understand their plans

I should have listened, loved them more

Told them I cared before they closed that door

Now I wish I could go back in time

To hold them close, make everything right

I’d do anything to turn back the clock

Love and respect, more than I ever did block

Oh, I wish I could go back and see

Them as the heart of my eternity

Oh, the love I failed to show

The words I didn’t say, I know

But now I pledge, with heart so full

To love them more, to never forget

If only wings of time I’d fly

To hold them again, and never say goodbye

Forever thankful, forever wise

Love and respect, under endless skies
