Karaoké What Mattered Most Ty Herndon

I thought I knew the girl so well

If she was sad

I couldn't tell

I missed the point

I missed the signs

So if she's gone the fault is mine

I know, I know a whole lot of little things

And even though

I could list them one by one she would still be gone

Her eyes are blue

Her hair is long

In sixty-four she was born

In Baton Rouge

Her favorite song is In My Life

I memorized her every move

I knew her books her car, her clothes but I paid no attention to what mattered most

I never asked

She never said

When she cried

I turned my head

She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors

That made them easy to ignore

And I know, I know

I missed the forest for the trees

Now all I have to show

Oh when she walked out the door

The cold facts and nothing more

Her eyes are blue

Her hair is long

In sixty-four she was born

In Baton Rouge

Her favorite song is In My Life

I memorized her every move

I knew her books her car, her clothes but I paid no attention to what mattered most

Her eyes are blue

Her hair is long

In sixty-four she was born

In Baton Rouge

Her father's tall

Her mother's gone

She moved out West when she was two

The way she laughed

The way she loved

Oh my God what did I do
