Elton John & Leon Russell I Should Have Sent Roses lyrics

Are you standing outside
Looking up at the sky
Cursing a wandering star?
Well, if I were you
I'd throw rocks at the moon
I'd say, "Damn you wherever you are"

I don't know where to start
This cage 'round my heart
Locked up what I meant to say
What I felt all along the way
Just wondering how come
I couldn't take your breath away

'Cause I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn't know how to love you
Though I loved you so much

And I should have sent roses
When you crossed my mind
For no other reason
Than the fact you were mine
I should have sent roses

Looking back on my life
Oh, if fate should decide

I could do it all over again
I'd build no more walls
I'd stay true and recall
Fragrance of you on the winds

You'll get better than me
Someone who can see
Right from the start
Give you all that you need
And I'll slip away
Knowing I'm half the man I should be

'Cause I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn't know how to love you
Though I loved you so much

And I should have sent roses
When you crossed my mind
For no other reason
Than the fact you were mine
I should have sent roses

Yeah, I should have sent roses
