What Mattered Most

[Verse 1: Ty Herndon] I thought I knew the girl so well If she was sad, I couldn't tell I missed the point, I missed the signs So if she's gone, the fault is mine I know, I know A whole lot of little things And even though I could list them one by one She would still be gone [Chorus: Ty Herndon] Her eyes were blue, her hair was long In '64, she was born in Baton Rouge Her favorite song was "In My Life" I memorized her every move I knew hеr books, her car, her clothes But I paid no attеntion to what mattered most [Verse 2: Ty Herndon, LeAnn Rimes, Both] I never asked (I never asked) She never said (She never said) And when she cried, I turned my head She dreamed her dreams (She dreamed her dreams) Behind closed doors (Behind closed doors) That made them easy to ignore Oh, I know, I know I missed the forest for the trees All I have to show Oh, she walked out the door Are cold facts and nothing more [Chorus: Both, Ty Herndon, LeAnn Rimes] Her eyes were blue, her hair was long In '64, she was born in Baton Rouge Her favorite song was "In My Life" I memorized her every move I knew her books, her car, her clothes But I paid no attention to what mattered most Her eyes were blue, her hair was long In '64, she was born in Baton Rouge Her father's tall, her mother's gone She moved out west when she was two The way she laughed, the way she loved Oh my God, what did I do? What did I do? (Oh, what did I do?) That girl, she mattered most (She mattered, she mattered) Oh, what did I do?
