I should have loved much more
I should have cried out loud
I should have risked it all
Faced my fears and stood my ground

I should have trusted time
I should have walked the line
I should have seen that life
Was slipping slowly by

I wish I'd done so much more good
Well, I know I had smiled when I could
But now it's gone, and here I stand
Holding empty dreams in my hands

I should have been more kind
Let go of ties that bind
Should’ve embraced the day
Instead of letting it fade away

I should have taken chances
Danced in life's romances
And when the night was done
I could have sung to the Sun

I wish I'd done so much more good
Well, I know I had smiled when I could
But now it's gone, and here I stand
Holding empty dreams in my hands

I should have loved much more
I should have dreamed it all
I should have been less scared
To answer life's call

Now all that's left is longing for what never was
