Song information
This is HOT off my writing desk! I finished this song today! A true story. In our culture we do not express our love in a physical way. Hence there is deep regret for not having said I LOVE YOU to my Mom! Every Mother's Day I feel the emptiness inside me.. BTW I couldn't fix the mix on my Strings. At 84 I'm losing some of my skills! Lucky I could still sing the high parts!

Lyrics
What I Didn’t Do
© Stanley Loh, May 5, 2026  Mother’s Day is on May 10, 2026
Verse 1
Never said I loved you while you’re still with us,
Can’t bring back what I didn’t do,
Didn’t hug you, didn’t kiss your cheeks,
Our kind don’t show how we express,
Chorus
Deep within my skin,
Very deep within,
There’s a love untouched unlike the physical acts,
You see in Hollywood racks of love,
Oh Mother, how do I tell you now,
How I loved you then, still love you now!
Verse 2
When you left us, I could not say goodbye,
Was too poor and far to fly,
Cried so hard inside and cursed regrets,
Was too late to reel back time,
Repeat Chorus, Bridge
You were dying in Cheras Hill,
I received bad batch of VCRs
Families relied on me in Underhill,
And I couldn’t stop the bleeding scars.
Repeat Chorus

I am truly sorry you didn’t get that final physical moment with her. But your lyrics show that love doesn’t disappear just because it wasn’t expressed in the way the world expects. Sometimes love sits quietly, deeply, and painfully inside us. Your song gives that hidden love a voice, and it is very moving.
I lost my father recently, and I feel incredibly privileged that I was able to hold his hand until he took his last breath. It was one of the hardest moments of my life, but also one of the most sacred. So when I read your words about not being able to physically hold your mother, hug her, kiss her cheek, or say goodbye in person, I felt that deeply.
This is such a beautiful and heartbreaking piece. I can feel the regret, distance, love and pain running through every line.
Hugs for you Stan x
