YOU

Do you remember the time you let me borrow your new car

And I dented the fender?

I thought you would kill me.

But you didn't.

Do you remember the time I spilled my coke

On your new rug?

I thought you would hit me.

But you didn't.

Do you remember the time I forgot to tell you

The dance was formal and you wore jeans?

I thought you would drop me.

But you didn't.

Remember the time I flirted with a guy

Just to make you jealous? (And you were !)

I thought you would hate me.

But you didn't.

And the time I dragged you to the beach

And you said it would rain, and it did.

I thought you would say, "I told you so."

But you didn't.

Do you remember all the times you tried to be serious

And I just giggled?

I thought you would leave me.

But you didn't.

There were lots of things you didn't do

And lots of things you did do.

You put up with me, tried to understand me

And loved me ...

And there were so many things I wanted to tell you

When you came home from Vietnam...

But you didn't.
