COUNTING SORRYS
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1981


Lady, have I told you that I'm sorry
I didn't say it last time when I called
I'm sittin' here alone countin' sorrys
It's really not that many times at all

Sorry means a lot when you mean it
How will we ever know unless we try
We've laughed and joked a lot while feelin' sorry
But a sorry's not a sorry until it's cried

I'm sittin' countin' sorrys and I mean it
I'd take back every tear I caused to fall
Come on home and count the sorrys with me
Let's make sorry count for somethin' after all
Let's make sorry count for somethin' after all
