since you've been gone...
Since you've been gone, my life is in ruin
There is more atmosphere up high on the moon!
No beautiful smile to greet me each morning,
No ' let's go to bed ' at night when we're yawning.
I don't get a kiss from your lips so tender
I cant feel the touch of your body so slender,
It seems like each day gets worse than the other
And I have to ask why I even bother!
I torture myself by wondering why
Was there any need for our last goodbye?
Was I being haunted by something from my past?
Is it maybe my fault that we were'nt meant to last?
No ! that's being silly cause no man has control
When time comes to pass and god takes a soul!
Those 3 magic word's ' I love you my dear '
Have broken my heart, you are no longer here!
'Take care of yourself ', that's what you use to say
As I used to go out to work on each day
Then I'd kiss you softly and my heart would go wild!
You had the power, made me feel like a child
Then one day you said 'let's go for a drive!'
'Don't plan where wer'e going, we'll just arrive!'
When the drunkard who hit us walked away from the scene
Did he know what he'd done to my beautiful queen?
The most beautiful angel has to heaven returned!
Since that horrible day, for your smile I've yearned!
In court he said 'I'm sorry for taking a life,
I had just had a row! drove away from my wife! '
' a most serious crime ' I heard the judge say!
' The punishment must fit and you'll dearly pay!'
'Six month ban from driving! and in prison a year,
'It is clear you are shocked, so I'll suspend the year!'
' I am sure if your victim had lived she'd forgive!'
' So you could make amends she would want you to live!'
When I say I adored you, they just say ' we know!'
'But its time you moved on, just let her go!'
Not only the drunkard but the trial judge as well
Has sentenced me to live my whole life in hell!
I can't hold your hand or hold you at night
I cant ask what to do when things don't go right.
The most I can do now is cry at your grave
And mumble an untruth 'I will be brave!'
Yet how can a drink driver take you from me?
Get a slap on his wrist and quickly walk free?
Straight to the pub, so he can celebrate
And get a lift home from his drunken best mate
If he really feels guilty he still won't feel my pain
Of never holding you close again.
When we watched a sad film, then I'd dry your tears
and we talked about our hopes and fears
But he took you away, did'nt give you a chance
And so I've decided, there'll be no more romance
There could be no other that I'd love this way
So I'll wait till I meet you, on my dying day...
