Day After You Ve Gone
When I awoke this morning the sun
was shinning so bright, I couldn’t believe
it for it should have be dark and gloomy…
Birds’ singing on high, singing in the
spring, this is not right for it should
be quiet and bleak…
I went to sit in that big old chair
cradling my head trying to understand
why you are dead…
Didn’t get the chance to tell you good-bye
or hold you in my arms for the last time…
As I set here I feel like we were cheated,
cheated to chance of that last hug, kiss and
to say, be seeing you someday…
The days will seem so empty without you
by my side and thank God for the memories
for if not I am sure I would die…
Keep hearing you in my head, I think
you are saying live in the warmth, sing
with the birds for they are telling you
how much you are loved…
Just know that when you hear my
whisper in your head that God has allowed
me to so you are not to despair…
God has his arms around me guiding me
along until the day we are together again
and I wish you happiness until that short
fleeting time is gone and you are by my side…
