My phone rang a few times last night,
Each time I wished it was you,
But every time I check
It was someone else,
That was tough to do;
I closed my eyes last night,
In hopes when I opened them you'd be by my side,
But when I did,
I was faced with the truth
That you were gone;
I weep by your grave,
I weep in our bed,
I just want to be where you are;
Now if you really must know how I am,
I should let you know,
I'm not doing so well,
Since you've been gone,
You told me to be happy,
But I just can't move on,
And it's tough.

I hear your back in town,
Right down the street,
I wonder when we'll meet,
If when you see me you'll speak,
Our love ran deep,
But now we just weep,
At the thought of the past,
We thought it would last,
I was sure of it,
cause you were the benefit.

The leaves fell off the trees,
The grass' color faded,
The sky got darker,
And I don't mind saying,
That I miss you;

The weather turned cold,
The holidays are coming soon,
And when I close my eyes I picture you beside me,
Yet I don't mind admitting,
That I miss you;

The clouds roll above,
Time travels on,
Somewhere beside the sea you'll be,
And I don't mind insisting,
That I miss you;

When I walk down the street,
All the faces I see,
The people that speak,
But I still notice my hands are empty,
And I don't mind you knowing,
That I still miss you.

Every day's the same,
And when it's not,
The world feels as though,
It would fall apart;

If the tree isn't lit,
If the dogs don't go out,
I turn for a panic,
and start to run about;

If I don't feel sorry for myself,
I don't know what to do,
I'd sit in the corner,
So utterly confused;

So here's the truth,
About my life and all,
If it isn't dramatic,
I don't know what I'd do,
I'd be the most bored little fool.

I haven't traveled a lot,
but as far as I'm concerned,
I've been everywhere
there is in the world;

I've met many people,
I've heard every word,
and people call me foolish,
but as far as I'm concerned,
I've met everyone there is in the world;

I've read many books,
and know every word,
I quote them all,
sing every song,
and some say that's impossible,
but as far as I'm concerned,
I've read every word there is in the world;

I've had the entire world before,
And held one close,
you say it's not possible,
But as far as I'm concerned,
If I loved you,
I've had the whole world.

When I am old and gray,
And walk with a sway,
and a leopard cane,
and this tattoo starts sagging;

When I am old and gray,
With these bones that start lacking,
And these ***** that are sagging
And I start falling away;

When I am old and gray,
And set in my ways,
With a smile on my face,
And a grandchild at my feet,

When I am old and gray,
What a happy little old person,
I'll be,
with curls in my hair,
And a pleasant memory,
What a sweet old woman I'll be.

It is said,
that time heals everything,
but time doesn't do anything for me,
my wounds left untouched,
by the ticking of a clock;
My heart still bleeds,
With the same pain from an hour ago,
The days run together,
Every day feels like my last;
Twenty-four hours don't change anything,
Even as they add up,
The event still fresh in my head,
When will it turn to the past.
