Story Behind The Song

My ex-wife and I lived together for awhile after we agreed to divorce, so she could get on her feet. (small changes) Then she & my daughter moved across town (bigger changes to adapt to) THEN they both moved half way across the country (irreversible changes to each relationship that had to be dealt with.)

Song Description

The dynamics of the effects of a divorce on all parties, not just the two spouses. Divorce is never a one time event. The results, good and bad, keep coming because the relationships really don't end.

Lyrics

SHE?S GONE
(Written by: Michael H. Fuller ? October 3, 2004)

(denotes back-up vocals)

I GOT THE CALL TODAY
YOU?RE MOVIN? AWAY
YOUR LIFE IS FINALLY WORKIN? OUT AND YOU JUST WANTED TO SAY?

(SHE?S GONE) ? MY BABY?S GONE

SOMETHIN? ?BOUT A NEW HOUSE BOUGHT IN YOUR OWN NAME
I DIDN?T CATCH IT ALL MY MIND?S A MILLION MILES AWAY?

(SHE?S GONE) ? MY BABY?S GONE

THERE?S THINGS IN THIS LIFE THAT YOU JUST CAN?T CHANGE
YOU WOULDN?T IF YOU COULD
YOU KNOW IT?S BETTER THIS WAY, BUT?

(SHE?S GONE) ? MY BABY?S GONE

YES, SHE?S GONE ? MY BABY?S GONE

YOUR OWN YARD
AND HER OWN ROOM
A PLACE FOR HER DOLLS
AND IT?S REALLY HITTIN? HOME THAT...

(SHE?S GONE) ? MY BABY?S GONE

A PRECIOUS LITTLE DADDY?S GIRL DON?T UNDERSTAND
SHE?S HAPPY BUT SHE?LL MISS ME BUT YOU?LL VISIT WON?T YOU DAD

(SHE?S GONE) ? MY WHOLE WORLD IS GONE

OHH, SHE?S GONE ? MY BABY?S GONE

WELL, SHE?LL BE JUST FINE WITH HER MAMA
THAT?S WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE
BUT THIS HEART THAT WE SHARE HAS GOT TO WAKE UP AND SEE THAT LIFE MOVES ON
AND SHE?S NOT REALLY GONE

SHE?S THE SONG IN MY HEART

AND IT GOES ON AND ON?

(instrumental)

OH, MY PRECIOUS LITTLE DADDY?S GIRL WITH DREAMS AND PLANS
SHE?S HAPPY BUT SHE?LL MISS ME BUT YOU?LL VISIT WON?T YOU DAD

YOU KNOW I WILL,

AND LIFE GOES ON . . .

SHE?S THE SONG IN MY HEART

AND IT GOES ON AND ON?

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MOM

AND LIFE GOES ON . . .
