(Gary Burr/Steve Wilkinson) It hits when I set the table Or when I turn out the lights And I don't hear a voice That whispers goodnight It hits when I'm in the backyard And the summer sky smells like rain Small things like that Make memories come back again Shame on me For kissing you with my eyes closed And telling myself I had so much time Losing you never crossed my mind Shame on me It thought the way that it was Was how it would always be To love someone so carelessly Shame on me I'm taking more time for sunsets And the sound of the birds at dawn 'Cause I know how it feels To miss what's gone It hits when I'm out with old friends And I hear them speak your name Oh how I wish There was somebody else to blame Shame on me For kissing you with my eyes closed And telling myself I had so much time Losing you never crossed my mind Shame on me It thought the way that it was Was how it would always be To love someone so carelessly Shame on me
