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

I Was Too Busy Loving You

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
