The Day You Left:

The day you left

Was a sad day for us all

You were here one minute

Gone the next

You were very pretty

This I can see

From your pictures

I look like you

You look like me

I grew up without a mom

He no longer had a mom

He no longer had a wife

You no longer had life

The Day you left

Was a sad day for us all.

Missing You:

You were here one day

Gone the next

I did not say I love you

You did not say you love me

Why does it have

To be this way

You love me

I love you

We can not tell

Each other any more

My life used to

Be an open door

I wish you were here

With each falling tear

I cry and cry

Wishing
