Lee's Song
Why did you have to go?
We all wanted you to stay
I still can’t believe
That was your price to pay
We were laughing when you left
Now we’re crying by your bed
And I just cannot deal
With your voice inside my head
‘Cause you’re sitting on the couch
Baseball cap upon your head
A guitar in your lap
Nutshell coming from your hands
And we were singing out
And you were playing on
And we’ll still play this song
Until you get back home
You are hero in my eyes
Even to this night
The thought that you are gone
Still brings tears to my eyes
We never can forget you
This pain will always be
They say it will get easier
But I’m still waiting
We miss you more each day
And the nights we cannot bear
My only solace is
You must be so happy there
We were laughing when you left
Then we were crying by your bed
And I still cannot deal
With your voice inside my head
‘Cause you’re sitting on the couch
Baseball cap upon your head
A guitar in your lap
Nutshell coming from your hands
And we were singing out
And you were playing on
And we’ll still play this song
Until you get back home
