I dont usually reply to posts but I will in this case. WOW!!
Pauls best hit – in my mind – without a doubt – is ” I go crazy”. That song moved my soul so deeply, that I had no choice but to outwardly acknowledge it by writing one of my own…. called ” One Regret “. a song about a young fella in his early 20′s who found all the love he could’ve ever wanted, but was too blinded by the fears & insecurities he was hell bent on trying to hide from his first & deepest true love.
” One Regret ”
by; Country Mark (Phillips)
As my time ticks away my memory fades, sometimes I forget what I wanted to say, & then it hits me… my one regret.
All this pain in my heart is imprisoned inside, I’m torn all apart everytime I cry, ‘cus I realize… my one regret.
Girl I shoulda told you so long ago, Iwas afraid to let love show, now here I stand, in my world all alone, regretting the day I had to let you go, my one regret was letting you go,
There were so many times I wanted to call, but I had no way of finding you at all…’cus you went away & found somebody else.
As the days turn to months,those months into years, I lost your love ‘cus I gave into fear…now here I stand in this lonely place called hell.
Girl I shoulda told you so long ago, I was afraid to let love show, now here I stand in my world all alone, regretting the day I had to let you go…my one regret, was letting you go,
Letting you go……… Just one regret.
