The Day You Left
The day you left I cried and cried
The day you left my heart died
I went through my daily tasks in haze
As I wondered how life got this way
Life has a way of being bitter sweet
Only to turn bitterest when you're complete
They say lifes a buffett so get your fill
Well what about the people who don't have the will?
The only reason Im still alive
Is because I thought you'd be by my side
Why did you leave me to this desolate life?
Never to know how it would feels to be your
wife!
Sometimes I think I see you driving home
But the car keeps on going and Im left alone
Why did life have to be so cruel?
The day you left and drowned in the pool
