The Day You Went Away - Roger Creager
A crowded restaurant here you are
I'm doing fine but you have come so far
I ask how long it's been
Like I don't know
I've been counting the days since you've been gone
You'd think my love would show
But I hear you're doing great out on your own
You're having a ball
Have friends that call you on the telephone
You've got hopes
You've got dreams
You've really got it made
That I used to feel the same
Until the day you went away
I don't know why I thought you'd be around
Looking back I see I really held you down
Thinking that I'd always have it all
I hate the way you're riding high
Then all at once take the fall
But I hear you're doing great out on your own
You're having a ball
Have friends that call you on the telephone
You've got hopes
You've got dreams
Really got it made
I used to feel the same
Until the day you went away
Everyone is looking right at you
You walk in you really steal the show
You're the one thing I should've held on to
But standing here today
I'm trying like hell to let you go
I hear you're doing great out on your own
You're having a ball
Have friends that call you on the telephone
You've got hopes
You've got dreams
You've really got it made
I used to feel the same
Until the day you went away
