I Died a Little Inside--

I died a little inside--


    It was three years ago, today;
That I once again, fell on my knees;
As I talk, I prayed to God and I said;
         Why? Oh why Lord;

Did you have to take her away?
    I cried, cried and I said;
    I died a little inside;
    Why?, why or Why?
She’s not here so I cried and I died a little inside;

I cried, I tried to hold the tears inside;
Cause a man not supposed to cry, sigh;
   Why oh why?
Did you take her away, God away from me, she died;
I died myself, yes I died a little inside today
On my knees still I pray, I say…

                   Man born of woman
Is born just of a few days and full of trouble;
This life we live on this earth is just temporal;
Must realize this is just a stopping place to amazing grace;

As I wipe my eyes
Yet I still cry inside
I keep wondering is she with Him
Jesus freed us, we need Jesus
Life eternal one day I’ll join her

Did you have to take her away?
I cried, cried and I said;
I died a little inside;
Why?, why or Why?
Do I cry, why do I cry?
It’s because I’ve died a little inside 
Oh wo oh 
Without you in my life
Oh wo oh 

I have died a little inside
