Mel Tillis Lyrics
"Sweetest Tie"

(Wayne P. Walker)

An empty mailbox and the silent telephone
Has quickly made me realize that something's wrong
While crazy thoughts go racing through my tangled mind
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.

Those long and lonely night I left you all alone
Those little thoughts of kindness that I'd never shown
Were things that seem so unimportant at the time
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind

Oh Lord, if I could just reverse the hands of time
A million kisses for each heartache you would find
But I had my chance and I fell to see the morning sun
Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind.

Too late I know the sweetest tie is the one I didn't bind...
