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
