The One Left Behind


The One Left Behind

I never even dreamed I'd be the one left behind
I thought we'd be together till the end of time
But now you're gone and I am feeling so alone
In my heart I can't imagine ever letting go

All my dreams were answered when we said I do
Now every day is a fight just to make it through
When you left me my entire world fell apart
Nothing hurts as bad as a broken heart

There has never been a woman with a heart so kind
When the Angles took you home I nearly lost my mind
I know you're smiling down at me from above
But I can't imagine going on without your love

Now I cry myself to sleep with a sad and broken heart
And I ask the Maker why he thought we had to part
We'll never have the chance to share our golden years
The raindrops from above are my loving angles tears
