lyrics

I’ve had worse days
And longer nights
I’ve stayed up late alone
And stared at the city’s lights

I did not mean to pull you
Into my life

I dream my dreams alone
Of fire and ice
And a woman around like you
Would sure be nice

I did not mean to let you
Let you see my life

And now I’m smiling seeing
My visions of you
And all those lonely nights
I’ve made it through

I did not mean to have you want me
Want to be my wife
