There isn't a day that passes
I don't think about times gone by.
Wishing you didn't have to die.
All my hopes and dreams are gone.
You took them with you,
when you went away.

For a long time I would just pretend,
You would come back to me again.
As the days have come and gone,
I am still alone.
Months and years have past.
Now I know, at last,
you are home.
You have gone to heaven.
And now are my past.

I will look to the future.
But I still have to ask.
Why you had to go,
when I needed you so.
This is a new life for me.
Without you by my side.
I'll keep trying to do the best I can.
Just keep watch over me ,
Until we are together again.
