From the recording Changing Landscapes
So Many Don Ablett
I was at a conference in Niagara on the Lake. It was late at night, and I started to think about the traveling musician who might have regretted a choice or two.
Lyrics
SO MANY
Words and lyrics by Don Ablett
I’m sittin’ in my hotel, nursing this last glass of beer.
All alone, in another room, wishin you were here.
So many bad excuses, I never found the time.
To tell you I love you, ask you, to be mine.
New crowd, never changin’, each town looks the same
I’m stuck here in Niagara, each night I cry your name
So many situations, I should have found the time
To tell I love you, ask you, to be mine
So many times I’ve stumbled.
So many times I’ve tried.
So many ways I’ve found to miss.
These feelings inside.
I’m headin’ for Halton County, comin’ back to you
Hopin’ this time we’ll be together, before the night is through
Only so many chances, I’m gonna find the time
To tell I love you, ask you, to be mine
Only so many chances, I’m gonna make the time.
To tell I love you, ask you, to be mine.
