Story Behind The Song
I came up with the song at a time in my life after my mother has died. Although at the time I didnt wite it with her in mind I can now look back on it and see how relevant and moving it can be for those who miss their loved ones
Song Description
The song really deals with loss and a sense of being wronged because someone has left and it is beyond your control. However as the brief poem unfolds it becomes evident that perhaps them leaving was for the better, yet still the pain of loss will remain

Lyrics
where have you been all this time
I've been sitting here, wondering why.
Why did you leave me behind
thinking of you makes me cry
I know your passing by
couldnt be here very long
someone is waiting for you
and heaven is your home
I know your gone this time
I know that sitting here by the phone
aint gonna bring you home tonight
and though it seems wrong to lose you
I know someday ill understand and in time my heart will mend somehow
I know passing by
couldnt be here very long
someone is waiting for you
and hevane is your home
I dont want to lose you what can I do to keep you
here never apart again
Stay love
