Story Behind The Song
This is the story of my father grieving for my mother. I listened to eveything he said for two years about regret and blame, and then wrote this song for him (I added things my mom would have said to him),to sing at the grave site, so he could Move On with his life. Didn't help. So do the best you can, and appreciate those you love, while they are alive. When they're dead IT IS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Lyrics
I know that you?d want me, to move on with my life
But all these years is a long time, To have a wife
And I just can?t believe it, When I stand next to your grave
And my head just won?t release me, From all the mistakes that I made
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
When I wake up in the morning, You?re no longer there
I turn around to look at you, But you?re not sleepin in your favorite chair
And my heart is aching breakin, And my head is in such a haze
I look at your pictures, And I remember better days
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Sleepless nights, Long lonely days
I don?t wanna go to bed, You won?t be there when I awake
No other woman interests me, Even though it?s been years
And if the sky could just fall on me, I?d be finished with all these tears
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
They say you don?t realize , What you got until it?s gone
I?m telling you my beautiful one, That?s become my theme song
And if there?s a silver lining, Behind every cloud
Well my skys are so damn dark, That I just can?t see it now
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Oh how, I wish I?d realized, That I?d had it made
If there?s a lesson to be learned, You know I think it?s just a little bit late
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
You always said , This too will pass
But this sorrow comin out of my heart, Just lasts and lasts and lasts
And I just can?t believe it, When I stand next to your grave
And my head just won?t release me , From all the mistakes that I made
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME DEAR
PLEASE FORGIVE ME SOMEHOW
I?M SO SORRY NOW
THAT I?M CRYING OUT LOUD
