| She looked good in my eyes
|
| And in everyone else’s too
|
| She had it all together
|
| At least from other’s point of view
|
| Always the one to be with
|
| And Mary was her name
|
| I didn’t know her too well
|
| But enough to never be the same
|
| She knew the things to say
|
| She knew the things to do
|
| She knew the people to know
|
| But Lord she never knew You
|
| What Mary didn’t know was the answer I was holdin'
|
| I didn’t think she’d change so I never even tried
|
| How was I to know?
|
| I wish I would’ve told her
|
| Now I’ll have to live and die with what Mary didn’t know

| She was a seeker, lookin' to find
|
| Some kind of somethin'
|
| And I remember the time
|
| When we were talkin'
|
| Opportunity for me was prime
|
| But I missed it, now I look back in my mind
|
| Right on the tip of my tongue was, «Jesus died for you»
|
| The words stayed right there
|
| I never got through
|
| Have mercy on her soul, have mercy on me
|
| I was weak, please forgive me

| The day came for Mary to stand before the throne
|
| And as she saw the tears in her Father’s eyes
|
| She cried,"I wish I would’ve known."
|
| I knew things to say, I knew the things to do
|
| I knew the people to know, but God I never knew You
|
| Someday I’ll answer for.. |
