Lifes Saddest Occasions
She looks in the mirror
And the tears rolls down her face
The lines she never notice before
Are now all over the place
She fumbles with a cigarette
As she tries to get it light
She heard the knock on the door
Asking if she’s alright
Every one comes up to hugs her
There’s not much they can say
They just bend their heads
And slowly walk away
Jasmines flowers over the fire place
That he knows she’s always like
And he would always bring it for her
When he comes from work at night
The weather outside is changing
Thunder sounds like distance drums
She goes over to the table
Pour her self a drink of rum
The rain started falling
As she walks out the door
Today he’s is leaving her
And won’t come back no more
She gets in the back seat
Looking out the windows
She looks at the house
A long line of cars follows
This is the last time
That He will ever be home
Now her life is so empty
He just went and left her alone
She thinks of the years
And how quickly did it pass
He swear to be here for ever
Today he lies under the grass
The place is getting dark now
As she says he final goodbye
Don’t know how to face tomorrow
But she knows she got to try
One of life’s saddest occasions
Is when a love one passes away?
And many want to comfort her
Just can’t find the right words to say
Every thing that could be said
Has probably been said already
And some times the best thing to do
Is to just give a hug and let them be
And at the funeral service today
She buries her heart with him
And she walks out the cemetery gate
A new challenge she face within
Today its Ten years pass already
She places flowers on his stone
And I think she met him in heaven
Because she died that night alone
