AFTER THE FACT






AFTER THE FACT




Oh! hindsight, hindsight, where were you all those years ago?
You`re here now telling me all the things I didn`t know.



I think of all the heartache you could have saved me
But back then I was so blind I just couldn`t see.



Looking back I always seemed to take the wrong turn
So then there were some hard lessons I had to learn.



You could have been my friend and guided me along
Then I am sure I wouldn`t have gone too far wrong.



But I have come through life and I am much stronger now
Even though you weren`t by my side to show me how.



Hindsight, you are a marvellous thing after the fact
But we need you before the odds against us are stacked.



 H I N D S I G H T
IS ALWAYS 20/20
