I Was Too Busy Loving You
Jimmy Webb
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
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
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
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
