Lyrics
I don't know just what to do
now that we are going separate ways
I don't know what lies ahead today
Nights go by, I think of you
all alone and feeling blue
without a friend like you to love
the skys are grey.
Tomorrow when I wake I'll say a prayer
I'll pray to God that time will heal my pain
He alone knows what's ahead
My tears are real, my eyes are red
without a friend like you to love
I'm feeling sad
With my head upon your pillow
I float among the clouds
like a weeping willow
I wonder what was ours
and do you think of me
I'll have to wait and see
without a friend like you to love
I can't be me
Now that I'm awake and said my prayer
I've prayed to God that time will heal my pain
He alone knows what's ahead
my tears were real, my eyes were red
without a friend like you to love
I can't go on
