It Never Entered My Mind
Unveiling the Silent Symphony of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Initially, I found amusement when you mentioned
That I'd be playing solitaire
That I'd be alone, engaging in a solitary game
Uneasy in my easy chair
Feeling uncomfortable even in my comfortable seat
It never entered my mind
I never considered that possibility
And once you told me I was mistaken
At another time, you informed me of my error
That I'd awaken with the sun
Saying I'd wake up early with the sunrise
And ordered orange juice for one
And request a single serving of orange juice
It never entered my mind
Yet, this idea never crossed my mind
You had what I lack, myself
You possessed what I was lacking within myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Now I'm even required to attend to my own needs
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Once you cautioned me that if you rejected me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
I'd find myself praying in solitude once more
And wish that you were there again
Longing for your presence once again
To get into my hair again
To bother me again, to become involved in my life again
It never entered my mind
Yet, this prospect never occurred to me
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Once more, you cautioned me that if you rejected me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
I'd find myself praying in solitude once more
And wish that you were there again
Longing for your presence once again
To get into my hair again
To bother me again, to become involved in my life again
It never entered my mind
Yet, this prospect never occurred to me
