She's There Then She's Gone

SHE'S GONE


One minute she's there
Next minute she's gone
How could a day that started so right
Have ended so terribly wrong
Married twenty years
My friend, my wife, my love
Now when I talk to her
I will have to kneel and look above
Life is so delicate
So precious being who you were
When the stress of life is over
All that's left is remembering her
Somehow that should be enough
But it never is
I want her back
If only to have one more kiss
So I go to bed
Sleep to morning and rise
I get up and walk aimlessly
Till I meet my demise
Once I was king I had it all
I had a queen I loved
Then in a second it happen
Now she looks down from above
My story is just one of thousands
That travel the highways we drive
The difference is that for a moment
Their wife is still alive
