And then the leaves changed
and everything was lost
in hues, red and gold

Oh but how could you
cut me down the way you do
and say you love me

I looked in her eyes
and saw how much she loved me
I had to leave her

Give me your hands dear
and ill show you a new world
a world of color

Oh what a bother
Not having a father
the other kids all seem so fair

As they race and play catch
And they bet on whose best
I'm left all alone in despair

Oh what a bother not having a father
Oh how lonely a life this can be

Oh what a shutter
not having a mother
the mothers they all seem so kind

They cook for their children
and smile as they greet them
but my mother has left me behind  

Oh what a shutter not having a mother
Oh how lonely a life this can be

And then one day you wake up
You yawn, stretch and look around.
Everything is in its place
everything is exactly where it should be
but something is wrong.
something is missing
What could it possibly be? you wonder.
And then you realize.
its gone.
the little hope you had left
the denial
the sadness the anger
the
happiness
     the grief
     the drive.  
All Gone.
Darling
the essence dies
long before the body
