I never said I loved you as I should have done 
I never told you darling you're the only one 
Will I do on regretting now my whole life through 
The things I didn't do? 

I never held my arms around you long enough 
I never dared to make my kisses strong enough 
Will I do on regretting now my whole life through 
The things I didn't do? 

I was too much afraid, afraid to get burned 
In a one way romance! 
So now I'm alone, too late I have learned 
I never gave love a chance! 

But if there is an answer to my every prayer 
If you can find within your heart that you still care 
I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you 
The things I didn't do! 

< instrumental break > 

I never gave love a chance! 

But if there is an answer to my every prayer 
If you can find within your heart that you still care 
I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you 
The things . . . The things I didn't do!
