It's Easter

Woke up this morning, in my home all alone Set up your picture, in the hall by the phone I glanced at the kids faces, hanging there on the wall Dropped to my knees and prayed, there in the hall I looked out in the yard, through the kitchen window Saw white and yellow tulips, blooming beside our broken home And there on the table, set the empty Easter baskets Oh! Now my heart is filled, with all of my regrets Today the sun is shining down, on the yard so bright The grass is all new, looking so fresh and green Oh! darling It's Easter, It's Easter Last night you packed and left, after our terrible fight Oh! but darling, you have to know That those words, I didn't mean Darling It's Easter, It's Easter Now I'm standing here knee deep, in this bed of flowers As my eyes start to drop tears, down like April showers Oh! darling I can't bare, being alone on this Easter day My God please open your eyes, and turn around today I know now, that I've been taking you for granted But if you come back, I promise I'll be the man you wanted For this is to be, one of the happiest days of the year But darling you left because of me, and now I shed these tears Today the sun is shinig down, on the yard so bright The grass is all new, looking so fresh and green Oh! darling It's Easter, It's Easter Last night you packed and left, after our terrible fight Oh! But darling, you have to know That those words, I didn't mean Darling It's Easter, It's Easter
