It Can't Be

I woke up this morning

Wishing it had all been a horrible dream

But what the doctor had told me

Took my heart to it's death

•

Opening my eyes

I see that you are not there

An empty bottle of vodka lies where once you were

Surely it hasn't come to this

•

Searching through the destruction of the room

Crumpled newspapers on the floor

The name in the article

-- it can't possibly be yours

•

I close my eyes

-- hoping it will all go away

The doctor, the paper, the endless messages on the machine

They're all a collection of lies

•

I kissed you goodbye as you walked out the door

Had I known; I wouldn't have let you go

An hour later I crashed through the emergency room doors

•

Five minutes earlier and I could have said goodbye

That time can't be replaced

So now I sit alone

-- with a stack of pictures

-- a heart full of memories

-- and a future that will never be

•

I want to join you

-- but the timing isn't right

In time we'll be together again

-- together as one

•

Goodbye my love, Goodbye.
