I didn’t see the day

You would go away
Leaving me here.
I never guessed you’d be
Far away from me,
For the rest of my years.

I thought we had forever,
Thought you’d never go.
I took your love for granted.
How was I to know?
Everything is different with you gone.
I can’t go on.

I never thought I’d live without you,
Can’t believe you’re gone.
Though the world is stopped
And I’m lost without you,
Still my life goes on.
The time will pass while we’re apart,
But memories are in my heart.
I still hold on to you and me,
And how it used to be.

I wouldn’t trade the time
When your love was mine
And filled all my days.
I didn’t know I’d need  to say
I needed you to stay
With me always.

I need your tender love
To cheer me when I’m down.
I wish I’d known you wouldn’t
Always be around.
Everything is different with you gone.
Can I go on?

I never thought I’d live without you,
Can’t believe you’re gone.
Though the world is stopped
And I’m lost without you,
Still my life goes on.
The time will pass while we’re apart,
But memories are in my heart.
I still hold on to you and me,
And how it used to be.

Now thinking of the days
Before you went away,
My thoughts turn to you.
Now though the time has passed,
The memories will last,
To carry me through.

Your spirit cheers me on and
Lifts me with a smile.
The friendship that we shared
Will see me through each mile.
Everything is different with you gone,
But I’ll go on.

I’ll never set you free.
I need you here with me
Again.

I never thought I’d live without you,
Can’t believe you’re gone.
Though the world is stopped
And I’m lost without you,
Still my life goes on.
The time will pass while we’re apart,
But memories are in my heart.
I still hold on to you and me,
And how it used to be.
