I don’t understand the reason you were meant to leave
Such untimely thing
Heaven dared to bring
You were all the answers to my life and all I need
Can I muddle through somehow
Now our little girl is asking me what she should do
Don’t know what to say
Would you know a way
Words I cannot find to offer guidance without you
All too ready to avow.
So far Lord knows I’ve been
Tending on my own
Hard as marble stone
She needs you now and so do I
Yet forbearing, yet to wonder why
How can I advise my heart and soul when you’re away
Being far apart
Heavy to my heart
I can still recall when you were promising to stay
Who can I turn to now?
