She looked good in my eyes
And in everyone elses to
She had it alltogther
At least from others point of view
Always the one to be with
And Mary was her name
I didn't know her to well
But enough to never be the same
She knew the things to say
She knew the things to do
She knew the people to know
But Lord she never knew You
(chorus)
What Mary didn't know
was the answer I was holdin
I didn't think she'd change
So I never even tried
How was I to know?
I wish I would've told her
Now I'll have to live and die
With what Mary didn't know
She was a seeker, lookin to find
some kind of somethin
And I remember the time
When we were talking
Opportunity for me was prime
But I missed, now I look back in my mind
Right on the tip of my tounge was,
"Jesus died for you"
The words stayed right there
I never got through
The day came for Mary to stand before the throne
And when she saw the tears in her Father's eyes
She cried "I wish I would have known"
I knew the things to say
I knew the things to do
I knew the people to know
But God I didn't know You
