I wasn't there behind you
 
 Where the wind blows cold
 
 Wasn't there to comfort you at all
 
 I wasn't there last winter
 
 When the whole lake froze
 
 Wasn't there in Spring
 
 To see it thaw
 
  
  I wasn't there in Summer
 
 When the farm went broke
 
 Wasn't there to help you with it all
 
 When I heard you1d lost your child
 
 You know my blood ran cold
 
 I wasn't there
 
 I wasn't there at all
  
 
 In the night there are stars
 
 And they're shinin' up above
 
 And as sure as there are stars
 
 I'm sure we were in love
 
 Sure we were in love
  
 
 I wasn't there in Summer
 
 When the farm went broke
 
 Wasn't there to help you with it all
 
 When I heard you1d lost your child
 
 You know my blood ran cold
 
 I wasn't there
 
 I wasn't there at all
  
 
 I wasn't there in Summer
 
 When the farm went broke
 
 Wasn't there to help you with it all
 
 When I heard you1d lost your child
 
 You know my blood ran cold
 
 I wasn't there
 
 I wasn't there at all 
 
 In the night there are stars
 
 And they're shinin' up above
 
 And as sure as there are stars
 
 I'm sure we were in love
 
 Sure we were in love
  
 
 For some there are excuses
 
 For others there are none
 
 I know guilt is useless
 
 For those things I left undone
 
 I didn't see you crying
 
 All those times I didn't call
 
 I wasn't there beside you in the Fall
 
 No I wasn't there at all 
 
 In the night there are stars
 
 And they're shinin' up above
 
 And as sure as there are stars
 
 I am sure that we're in love
 
 For sure we are in love.
