HOW I WISH YOU HAD STAYED©
by
Andrea E. Henkel

I thought about you again today
I haven't done that since, well yesterday
You're on my mind and you're deep in my heart
I still don't know why we ever had to part

I think back on all those times
You cared for me were there for me with open arms
You were my strength and you, you showed me love
And I know you guide me from high above

I don't know what to do or say
I thought we'd be together always
I feel you're here but I'm so, so alone
I wish I had you to call home
I wish I had you to call home

Your memory is so strong and sweet
You live on inside of me
I know you're here now I can feel your strength
But I still wonder what your death meant

I don't know what to do or say
I thought we'd be together always
My love for you will never fade
How I wish you had stayed
