You asked me to come home safely but I didn't.
Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thougnt you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were?

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.
I remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?

But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
