Why Am I Still Here
Why am I here?
You went away and left me sweetheart
I know through no choice of your own
I have missed you every day since, my dear
The days are now years that you left me alone
One foot in front of the other
Is how I cope with passing time
The years crept slowly by
But I remember when you were mine
The good times we shared together
The laughter and all the fun
So much of life we enjoyed
Being together when each day was done
I will love you all the days of my life my love
Many years now since you were laid to rest
My heart will never forget the love we shared
As long as it continues to beat in my chest
I sit in my chair and look up at the stars
And I wonder will I ever see you soon
There are so many nights I have these times
When the clouds are gone and I see the moon
I have lived these many years without you
Just putting one foot in front of the other
Some days I wonder why do I do it
And others days I have yet to discover
Now I have no idea what I need to do
But there must be a reason I am still here
So I will try real hard to look around
Count my blessings, and dry up these tears.
