Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away. 
C             D       C           D 
I wonder why it never happens for me. 
G                 D            Em         Bm 
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.

Why you had to go is a mystery to me.

C               D               C             G
It just seemed to happen with the passing of each day.
G        D              Em         Bm
I don't understand. Is it part of a plan?
C           D          C             G
Does one person grow when another fades away?

Small things you'd do weave pictures of you.

They're printed for life on the back of my mind.
G            D            Em            Bm
I was always so sure. Your life was so pure.
C              D               C             G
To the faults and to bad times a loved one stays blind.

A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear
