The day you left,
I thought my heart would be torn in two,
When you said good-bye
I just didn’t know what I was going to do.
Though I tried to understand
I didn’t know why it had to be this way
No matter what I said
You just couldn’t stay
I knew this day would come,
Though I still kept asking why,
I tried so hard to be strong
But all I could do was cry.
How can you take my heart
To such a faraway land
This isn’t what I want,
It’s not what I had planned.
Now with a heavy heart,
I somehow manage to live my life
Through all my tears
I’m still proud to be your wife.
Somehow I still manage to smile
In honor of you I show off my pride
But sometimes I get tired of smiling
Because it hurts so much inside.
I long to have you here
And not in a land so far away
Not just in my heart,
But beside me here to stay.
I wait patiently day and night
For your next call,
And when I do hang up the phone,
The tears again start to fall.
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep,
I’m sorry but it’s true,
This is just the way it is,
In my life back home without you. |
