I Just Couldn’t See The Forest (For The Trees)

[Intro]
I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees

[Verse ]
I was standing in tall timber
With many women on the line
But somehow in the tangle of all those love affairs
I overlooked the only one who cares

[Chorus]
I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees
That’s what’s been wrong with me
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die

[Verse 2]
I thought that I I was a swinger
And had the whole world by the tail
But I was wrong because the only thing that’s swinging
Is the door that she walked through saying farewell

[Chorus]
I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees
That’s what’s been wrong with me
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die
