I Meant To

I Meant To

I meant to

see the hummingbird and to hear the bee

I meant to let you have more of me

I meant to meet you at the car

I meant to wish upon a star

I meant to travel and to grow

I meant to be in the know

I meant to take my time

I meant to save more than a dime

I meant to mean what I say

I meant to be there for you today

I meant to hold your dear hand

I meant to crisscross this great land

I meant to live life real slow

I meant to know more than I know

I meant to stop in and to say “Hi”

I meant to turn and say “Goodbye”

I meant to sit and tend the fire

I meant to show you my desire

I meant to live my life real grand

I meant to dance the allemande

I meant to be a movie star

I meant to have my dreaming take me far

I meant to write another song

I meant to enjoy having you along

I meant to think and to dream big

I meant to let go of what we did

I meant to push up toward the sky

I meant to look you in the eye

I meant to do a great many things

I meant to fly and then have wings

I meant to count the minutes and the hours

I meant to linger in the showers

I meant to sing a happy song

I meant to celebrate life long

I meant not to dwell upon the past

I meant to have myself a blast

All these things, I meant to do

No, I have not-but just a few.
