The Day You Went Away Lyrics

By Roger Creager
A crowded restaurant and here you are
I'm doing fine but you have come so far
I ask how long its been like I dont know
Ive been counting the days since youve been gone
Youd think my love would show
Chorus:
But I hear youre doing great out on your own
Youre having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone
Youve got hopes, Youve got dreams , youve really got it made
I used to feel the same until the day you went away
I dont know why I thought youd be around
Looking back I see I really held you down
Thinking that Id always have it all,
I hate the way youre riding high then all at once you take the fall
Everyone is looking right at you
When you walk in you really steal the show
Youre the one thing I shouldve held on to
But standing today I'm trying like hell to let you go
