Two Years Ago Today

Today I woke to your voice, on the answering machine I pourd two cups of coffee, and read the morning paper I wrote a little note, and placed it on the T.V. screen Yelled out I love you, and that I would see you later Your sister waved at me today, She still shows me that I'm Number one So I just waved back to her, and went on with my day On my desk sits your picture, where you were so happy and having fun Down there at the lake, two years ago today Talked to my momma today, told her that we're doing fine She asked if we were coming home, on thanksgiving day I told her you had to work, but I'd be there by nine And that I probably could, spend a couple of days Driving home I saw your sister again, I just waved and reved the engine I think she really likes me, She's always waving I'm number one Tonight I fixed you dinner, Made your favorite bite to eat Then I done the dishes, so that you could rest your feet I opened a letter in the mail today, as I read it the words made me cry Then I realized that I was all alone, and that you finally went away I just couldn't believe, that you would ever say doodbye And that this all happened, two years ago today
