Lyrics
FOR L.F.
© 2002, Music & Lyrics by Linda Finkle
Yesterday your soul flew away
Everyone came over to me, they just had to say
What a good man you were, what a nice man you were
What a hard-working, decent, honest person you were
And I say - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Why did you go - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Everywhere I look I see your face
Every time I turn a corner, I remember a place
Where we used to go, and the kisses would flow
Now my heart is in pieces ?cause you left me alone
And I say - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Why did you go - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
It?s all so senseless, I dropped my defenses
Just to be with you, just to be with you
Now that you?re gone and I?m here on my own
I just don?t know what to do
Can you please tell me what to do
Someone please tell me what I?m gonna do
People say that time will ease the pain
Try to think about the good times, they?ll happen again
I listen and smile, and forget for awhile
But the thoughts of you crowd out any chance of denial
And I say - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Why did you go - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
And I say - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Why did you go - why did you go away
Where did you go - a place you cannot escape
How do I go - on living every day
When everything was you
Yes, everything was you
