Telephone rang - knew you were gone
Songs that you sang - will linger on
All of your pain - it had to cease
What keeps me sane - is you are at peace
I know it’s life - we knew the rules
We shared the strife - nobody’s fools
You had to cross - line drawn by time
I bore the loss - for once you were mine
Chorus:
First it’s a day - and then it’s a week
Then it’s month -that we never speak
Then comes a year - which brings back the day
You left me here - when you went away
Once there was you - and there was me
Then there was two - as meant to be
Now in this vale - I stand alone
You have set sail - and our time has flown
Time & the tide - ride slowly by
Tears I have cried - will never dry
We shared a life - now I’m alone
I was your wife - I answered the phone
Chorus:
First it’s a day - then it’s a week
Then it’s month - we never speak
Then it’s a year - which brings back the day
You left me here - when you went away
(repeat chorus)
