Analysis of I Didn't Know
Ann Yaggie 1970 (Florida)
I didn't know that you'd be gone
left me to wonder and be all alone.
You walked out in the morning dew
where you went I have no clue.
If you decide to turn around
from where it was you were bound
I'll be here, not making a sound.
My heart aches for the love and the loss
I didn't know that you would cross.
