Regrets

Perry Como


I wish that I could take back 
all of the things that I've done to hurt you! 
I didn't mean to be so cruel! 
And yet I know that I've been selfish 
and, at times, a just fool! 

And every thoughtless thing I've done 
keeps comin' back to haunt me 
because you took each one to heart! 
And as I realize it's my fault 
we've grown worlds apart . . . 

I have regrets, regrets, 
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self 
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets 

If I could right the wrong I've done 
maybe I could stop your leavin' 
but there's so much I'm guilty of 
and it's too late to say I'm sorry 
'cause bein' sorry is not enough! 

'Cause with each angry word that I've said 
your love for me was dyin', 
each word left a lasting scar 
and right now I feel so helpless, 
wishin' I could change the way things are . . . 

I have regrets, regrets, 
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self 
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
