Regrets

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster)

Regrets can be seen in two different ways
A choice made in the past or yet to be made
The idea was sound the selection took days
Time revealed the outcome and made us afraid

Paths taken in life are usually a one way street
Regrets are painful when you thought you had won
Good or bad decisions the choice is complete
Regrets are painful when it’s left undone

CHORUS:

Regrets are common we all have a few
Mistakes can be used to learn a new way
Regrets shine the light on options that grew
Take action take chances, it’s a new day


Many regrets are not inflicted by you
Big business creates false desires and needs
Illusions of happiness affordable to a few
Seeds of regret planted they grow like weeds.

Their blossoms and blooms poison our minds
Creating the sea of needs that will never be met
Sorrow and anxiety the fruit of the vine
Constant yearning creates oceans of regret

CHORUS:

Circumstances changed making the choice a regret
In life’s endless gardens which fruit do we pick
The odds were against us but we placed the bet
Knowing the taste of sweet and sour is the trick

Choices made by your understanding of life,
More options seem clear as time slips by
Selections are pruned with a knowing knife
The choice finally made by the un-blinded eye
