I Was Too Busy Loving You - Jimmy Webb, John David Souther

When was the time

You first thought of leaving

And hid it away in back of your smile

And then slowly

Surely we came apart

Seconds to inches

Minutes to miles

And it was so easy

I was too blind

To notice what everyone else could see

I was too busy

Loving you

To see you

Slipping away from me

When do we lose

The things that we cherish

We blindly believe

The world’s on our side

And from the very first time

I took it for granted

I’d already lost you

You’d already lied to me girl

It was so easy

I was too blind

To notice

What everyone else could see

I was too busy

Loving you

To see you

Slipping away

Couldn’t see you

Slipping away

From me
