Regrets Lyrics - Perry Como

I wish that I could take back 

All of the things that I've done to hurt you! 

I didn't mean to be so cruel! 

And yet I know that I've been selfish 

And, at times, a just fool! 

And every thoughtless thing I've done 

Keeps comin' back to haunt me 

Because you took each one to heart! 

And as I realize it's my fault 

We've grown worlds apart . . . 

I have regrets, regrets, 

For my mistakes an' thinking only of my self 

And all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 

For the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 

I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets 

If I could right the wrong I've done 

Maybe I could stop your leavin' 

But there's so much I'm guilty of 

And it's too late to say I'm sorry 

'cause bein' sorry is not enough! 

'cause with each angry word that I've said 

Your love for me was dyin', 

Each word left a lasting scar 

And right now I feel so helpless, 

Wishin' I could change the way things are . . . 

I have regrets, regrets, 

For my mistakes an' thinking only of my self 

And all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 

For the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 

I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
