Analysis of I walk through time

Billy DeLorme 1972 (Rochester New York)



As I am walking through time trying not to blunder.
 I occasionally think about you and sometimes I wonder.
 What it could've been, What it should have been, What went wrong ?
 Why didn't I stop it, How can I make it right, Why did I wait so long ?
 We both had our bad's, we both did our dirt.
 Instead of cherishing you and loving the way you are so playful and like to flirt.
 But like I said it's only occasionally that I wonder.
 As I walk through time trying not to blunder.
