Lyrics

From Jerry Herman's Mame (musical & film)

Did he need a stronger hand? Did he need a lighter touch? Was I strong or was I rough? Did I give too much? Did I give enough?

At the moment that he needed me, did I ever turn away? Would I be there when he called if he walked into my life today?

Did he mind the lonely nights? Did he count the empty days? Was I silent, was I cold? Was I quick to scold? Was I slow to praise?

And there must have been a million things, that my heart forgot to say. Would I make the same mistake if he walked into my life today?
